Herblock lampoons the Iran-Contra affair, the most publicized scandal of President Ronald Reagan’s tenure. In panels that mimic multiple takes on a movie set, he chronicles Reagan’s non-responses to queries about the illegal sale in 1985 of arms to Iran, a nation harboring terrorists, in hopes of gaining release of American hostages in Lebanon. Herblock indignantly asserts that this deal engineered by the Reagan administration “could have been called the Amnesia Scandal.”
