Answer:

The cartoon you are referring to is called “Stick 'em up!” by Edmund Valtman12. It was created in 1964 during the Vietnam War. The cartoon shows a Viet Cong labeled “Guerrilla Warfare” standing at the edge of tall grass, pointing a handgun labeled “Conventional Arms” at a startled President Lyndon Johnson who is carrying atomic bombs under his arms and a sign that states "Mightiest Nation in History LBJ"23. The cartoonist is saying that despite having advanced nuclear arsenal, it did not guarantee the U.S. a victory in Vietnam1.

I hope this helps!
