From the AAEC Editorial Cartoon Collection. Cartoon by John Riedell. Uncle Sam stands on the globe at the western edge of the United States, facing west over the Pacific Ocean. Over the horizon, a woman labeled "Red China" has eaten part of a onion she took from a bag labeled "Possible test-firing of long-range missile in '69." With mouth open wide, the woman breathes in Uncle Sam's face. Her breath is labeled "Greater offensive capability." The woman wears a necklace of missiles, and her earrings have bombs on them. The cartoon caption reads, "Worse breath?"
