About this cartoon: Ronald Reagan had this warm, folksy likeability that softened and masked his often-harsh policies in many areas, including here in Social Security disability payments, education and entitlement programs.
Noteworthy: When Pulitzer-Prize winning cartoonist Paul Conrad saw this cartoon, he declared, "Now THAT says something!" It's a cartoon that I'm slightly surprised ever made it into print, as it really nailed a president much liked by the newspaper I worked for.
