Title	Comrade Mao's culture squad straightened me out; August 27, 1966
Description	From the AAEC Editorial Cartoon Collection. Cartoon by Gene Basset. People carrying a sledge hammer, bat, board with nail, paint can, and a flag labeled "Red guards" are walking away from the ruined storefront of the "Peking Book Shop." The window has been shattered, the sign above the door is broken, the door has been smashed and torn from its hinges, and the end of the building is on fire. Books are lying on the ground and on the shop roof, and smoke rises from the fire. The shop owner is kneeling in the doorway. He points to the Red Guard and speaks to a man in a suit who is standing over him. The shop owner says, "Comrade Mao's culture squad straightened me out." In the background, neighbors watch.
