“Blot out the blemish of Berkeleyland, Madigan!“ Poster

"Poster has two drawings of animal like figures. The figure on the left has a blue face and black mouse ears with a large red M on its shirt. The figure on the right has tall rabbit ears with red pants and blue cowboy boots with spurs. The figure on the right has a speech bubble with "Blot out the blemish of Berkeleyland Madigan!!" The figure on the right has a speech bubble with "Yes, your Reagan-ness!" This poster satirizes the sycophantic relationship between Alameda County Sheriff Frank Madigan (portrayed as a toadying Blue Meany from the Beatles film "Yellow Submarine") and Governor Ronald Reagan, who was vehemently opposed to the student and community demonstrations around People's Park.
