Title	Toughest kid on the block?; February 24, 1965
Description	From the AAEC Editorial Cartoon Collection. Cartoon by Eddie Germano. Mao Zedong, wearing a "coolie" hat and labeled "Red China" Leonid Brezhnev, labeled "Russia" and Uncle Sam, all drawn as street toughs, stand at a street corner under a sign labeled "World St." Mao and Brezhnev are facing Uncle Sam, who stands with his hands on his hips and wears a frown. Mao is drawn with fangs instead of teeth and is pushing Brezhnev to challenge Uncle Sam as he says, "Go ahead...let's show him who's boss!" Hammer and sickle symbols form part of the letters of the word Boss. Brezhnev is shown expressing fear. The cartoon caption reads, "Toughest kid on the block?"
