Consequences of Pac Man Fever

A cartoon from the newspaper the El Paso Times by cartoonist Drew Litton. The man standing atop the arcade machine brandishing a weapon bears the words "Pac Man Fever" across his back, while he is attacked by a number of hostile spacecrafts bearing the words truancy, frivolity, drugs, and violence. The cartoon is meant to show that playing Pac Man back in the 80s was a gateway to life ruining choices, showing that the concept of video games being the potential downfall of society has existed since the video game medium first became popular.
