This scene depicts the meeting between Richard Helms, Director of the CIA, President Nixon, Secretary of State Kissinger and Attorney General John Helms as they discuss the use of counter-intelligence to stop Salvador Allende’s inauguration as President of Chile in September 1970. The portrait of the Indian is taken from an actual painting hanging in the White House of an indigenous Indian Chieftain, which I thought would serve as a subtle hubristic reminder to the assembled gang of plotters.

Next page from my strip on the Chilean Coup of 1973, and the shadowy US involvement behind the scenes.

I’ve just got back from San Fran’s APE con, where I headed up the CCS table and co-chaired a colour workshop, as well as touting What a Whopper and my latest project – a longer version of the 3page Bash piece I did on the 1973 Chilean Coup. Thanks to those of you who stopped by – I’ll post photos forthwith. Enjoy!
