Doonsbury by Garry Trudeau for August 26, 1982

First panel: Two military officers sitting at a desk are approached by a sergeant.

OFFICER: What is it now, sergeant?

SERGEANT: We just got the final count on the Terrorist Evacuees, sir.

Second panel:

OFFICER: Does this include the Terrorist Wounded from the Terrorist Hospitals?

SERGEANT: Yes, sir. Along with the Terrorist Doctors and Terrorist Nurses

Third Panel: the other officer, seemingly confused, leans forward. The officer and sergeant turn to look at him.

OTHER OFFICER: Wait a minute. What is all this “Terrorist” business? Wasn’t Begin once a “Terrorist”, too?

OFFICER: Mr. Begin was not a Terrorist, he was a Freedom Fighter

Final panel: The other officer leans back and the officer turns back to the sergeant.

OTHER OFFICER: Oh.

OFFICER: How many Terrorist Relatives?

SERGEANT: 3,000 Terrorist Wives and 7,000 Baby Terrorists

    Fecking 1982, and it’s STILL relevant. Let’s not be deterred, and work together towards this cartoon’s dying relevance.
