This sheet turns on the improbable image of Ho Chi Minh and Lyndon Johnson locked in an embrace, an image that works at once as political satire and as queer provocation. Read from a queer perspective, the piece becomes more than an absurd reconciliation of enemies: it stages forbidden male intimacy across one of the most militarized and hypermasculine divides of the era. The deadpan caption, “And then, of course, the cops came,” pulls that embrace back into the familiar machinery of repression, where geopolitics, sexual anxiety, and the policing of the body converge. |
