The Actor and the Junior Senator

I was just in New York recently where I got a chance to see Good Night and Good Luck. It’s a powerful play about the misguided use of authority, and I don’t think I have to connect the dots for you to see how it echoes events happening right now in our country.

It reminded me of a story arc that ran in Funky about my faded movie star Cliff Anger’s face off back in the day with the junior senator from Wisconsin, Joseph McCarthy. If you don’t remember it, not to worry, I’ve got you covered.

I’m presenting those strips again today and in a follow-up post. Those who don’t learn from history… well, you know the rest.
