An original manuscript storyboard political cartoon by Jack Howells 'Herc' Ficklen satirizing national interest in the 1972 Democratic National Convention, held in Miami, Florida.

The cartoon, entitled 'All Eyes' ran in the Dallas News in July of 1972. The carton bears a dedicated to Lee D. Saegesser. The famous NASA archivist and historian, suggesting it was presented to him as a gift from Ficklen, possibly due to its Florida focus. The 1972 Democratic Convention The 1972 Democratic Convention, held in Miami Florida, was one of the most significant in the history of American electioneering - when this cartoon was issued the eyes of the country were indeed on Florida. It was the first democratic convention to introduce new rules on delegate selection. These included quorum requirements for meetings, and quotas for women and minority groups. The convention also established much of the Democratic agenda that remains with us today, including equal rights, universal guaranteed income, anti-war policies, and more. In addition, it was the first campaign where an African American Woman, Shirley Chisholm (1924 - 2005) ran for president. While George McGovern ultimately received the nomination, Chisholm came in a strong 4th, strongly ahead of political mainstays like Ted Kennedy and Walter Mondale. McGovern lost the national election to Richard Nixon by largest landslide in any US Presidential election.
