Peace With Egypt (1973)
November 16, 1973
This Golden Oldie is from November 1973. We were about to begin peace talks with Egypt. Current riots and unrest in post-Mubarak Egypt prompted me to post this thirty-eight year-old cartoon today.This cartoon was done when the strip was less than a year old (I had begun drawing Dry Bones on January 1, 1973). Mistake Dept: Back in 1973 most Israelis were smokers, as was Mr. Shuldig. I usually drew him speaking with a cigarette dangling on his lips. I just noticed that in panel three of the cartoon I forgot to draw in the cigarette.
Too late to fix the error.
Yikes!

I guess One in Six Israelis weren't Smokers.
B"H
Good Golden Oldie.
We might be able to change the date to 2011 with the same cartoon. Once again we are waiting to see if we will make peace with Egypt's Pharaoh.
The peace we did have was mostly a cessation of killing.The most life saving thing that I can discern is that since the year of the cartoon many Israelis have quit smoking. The fact may be that our percentage of foolish (death defying) smokers is about average for the world.
AM YIRAEL CHAI (if we give up cigarettes)which have killed more Israelis than our wars.
