Title	Oh, I was afraid you were watching one of those violence shows; December 4, 1964
Alternate title(s)	Oh, I was afraid you were watching one of those violent shows
Description	From the AAEC Editorial Cartoon Collection; Cartoon by Vic Runtz. A boy lies on his stomach in front of a television in a living room watching the Senate Rules and Administration Committee hearing of the Bobby Baker case. On the television screen, men are engaged in a shouting match. One says, "..and you're another!" The boy's mother has entered the room from the kitchen carrying a dish and towel to see what the boy is watching. On the floor next to the boy is Runtz's signature cat writing on a piece of paper titled "Score." The men in the shouting match may be Bobby Baker and Lennox P. McLendon, and Baker has just called Senator John J. Williams a liar [Williams was known for his integrity]. The cartoon caption reads, "Oh, I was afraid you were watching one of those violence shows."
