"The Bible and the Working Man" (1945) promotional comic book by the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO). This was part of a Post WW2 push to organize. Labor organizers in the American South faced pushback from politicians, business owners and religious leaders who told workers that joining a union was "un-Christian." This pamphlet was put out as countermeasure.
Artist Mike Green (1991) warns the audience to "set your clocks back 50 years" after the Supreme Court confirmation of Clarence Thomas. The hearings were overshadowed by allegations of sexual harassment by attorney Anita Hill. The artist states the appointment will turn back social and civil progress by decades. A prescient warning considering Thomas had an active hand in overturning Affirmative Action and woman's right to abortion (Row v Wade) several decades later.
Artist Paul Conrad shows a man "putting down" his car due to high gasoline prices. The image was drawn in response to the looming 1970s energy crisis. He accurately predicted what would happen when the cheap gas bubble burst and Americans were stuck with gas guzzling V8 engines. This was drawn a year before the 1973 OPEC oil embargo, which caused massive gas lines and rationing.
Polish artist and satirist Jerzy Flisak made this comic in response to the technological anxieties of the 1970s. The rise of computers and factory automation sparked fears of robots replacing humans.

Artist Herblock (1977) captures the political showdown over environmental regulation in America. The image was inspired by the 1977 Amendments to the clean air act.
