Editorial cartoon drawing shows a man wearing an "L.B.J. '68" button is riding in a tank labeled "All the Way with LBJ" and "NH '68" as it rumbles over "New Hampshire", only to have its forward progressed stopped by a lance labeled "McCarthy" wielded by a "knight in armor".

Caption label from exhibit "Herblock Looks at 1968": Herblock reacts to Eugene McCarthy's (1916-2005) surprising upset in the New Hampshire primary, by representing the Minnesota senator as a white lance challenging incumbent Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908-1973) and stopping his campaign in its tracks. McCarthy's strong showing led Senator Bobby Kennedy to announce his candidacy. Johnson announced two weeks later, "I shall not seek and I will not accept the nomination of my party for another term as your President." In a contentious race after Bobby Kennedy's assassination, Vice President Hubert Humphrey won the Democratic Party nomination.
