Description
This political cartoon by Jay N. Darling depicts a shocked couple entering the taxi of nervous and sweating new President, Harry S. Truman. In the second panel, President Truman drives into a "dangerous intersection" as his two passengers lean out the windows, looking concerned at what comes ahead. The third and fourth panel show President Truman accelerating the taxi and the joy of his two passengers. This cartoon is in the museum collection of the Truman Library.
