Title	What a way to go!; December 31, 1969
Description	From the AAEC Editorial Cartoon Collection. Cartoon by Vic Runtz. An aged man with a long beard wears sandles and a belted tunic labeled "The sixties." At the edge of a cliff, he has slipped on a banana peel labeled "Earth's unsolved problems." About to plunge off the cliff, he says, "But I've walked on the moon!" Runtz's signature cat, sitting on the cliff reading a newspaper, says, "And some people have had changes of heart!" In the distance, a crescent moon is studded with two American flags. The cartoon caption reads, "What a way to go!"
