 Title: Califlynia
Published: Daily News of Los Angeles
Date: Aug. 27, 1981
About this cartoon: The Medfly (Mediterranean fruit fly) invasion was a major threat to California's agriculture. Quarantine zones were set up, orchards were stripped and sprayed with pesticides, and Governor Brown belatedly okayed the use of the insecticide Malathion.
