content: Jeff MacNelly (1947-2000) was the creator of the comic strip Shoe and a three-time Pulitzer-winning editorial cartoonist, most notably for his work in the Chicago Tribune. This drawing is a commentary on the increasing influence of the Middle East in American politics and culture during the 1970s. In the drawing, a man is driving down the street, while popular American business chains have been renamed with Middle Eastern-inspired names, i.e., "Mecca Donalds".
