Fall of Saigon in Cartoons
On this day 37 years ago, Saigon, the capital of South Vietnam, was captured by the People’s Army of Vietnam and the National Liberation Front. The event market the end of the Vietnam War and the start of formal reunification of Vietnam into a communist state.
One of the most famous images of the 20th century is this photo by Dutch journalist Hubert van Es showing Americans trying desperately to secure a seat on one of the last helicopters evacuating people to U.S. Navy ships off the coast of Vietnam.
Cartoonists are visual creatures, so it makes sense that this iconic image of desperation has been used and twisted in a number of cartoons over the years. Here are some examples from our archives…

Sarkozy's Election: Five Cartoons
It’s interesting that Americans tend to disregard presidential elections in other countries, while our foreign counterparts wait with baited breath for Obama and Romney to go after one another.
It’s too bad, because there’s a really interesting election shaping up in France between incumbent president Nicolas Sarkozy and Socialist candidate Francois Hollande. The two came neck and neck in the first round of the country’s presidential election, with the final round between the two set for May 6. Things aren’t looking good for Sarkozy, and if he’s defeated, he’d become the first president in France’s history not to serve two terms.
We have a great stable of foreign cartoonists that have been covering this race, so I thought I’d share five terrific cartoons here on my blog…
