    What is the message or point of view of the cartoonist?

    Perhaps the most significant portion of the cartoon is that fact that each leader has a finger poised to strike a button that would presumably detonate the hydrogen bomb that the other sits upon. This undoubtedly represents the intensity of the Cold War struggle between the two leaders; although each was trying to avoid nuclear war, they were both ready to use nuclear weapons if necessary.
