About this cartoon: Leonid Brezhnev was the last major hard-line
dictator of the Soviet Union, tougher than his predecessor Khruschev,
but less deadly than Stalin. He built up the Soviet military might while
seeing the Soviet economy deteriorate, a condition that would eventually
end the Soviet Union's run as a nation.
Noteworthy: This cartoon made use of a chemical paper called Duoshade,
and the "Gray" lines were essentially painted on with a photo-developer
solution that made hidden shading patterns visible.
