A little rabbit hole that I want to document. Trying to find the source of the Martin Luther King standing in front of a burning city saying "I'm going to lead another non-violent march tomorrow" cartoon led me to Joe DeVilla — Same Old Song And Dance, which also included a Herblock cartoon from 1965 with an octopus pretending to be an elephant.
I didn't find a clean version of the MLK comic, but I did find an Archive.org mirror of it once hosted at The King Center with some interesting notes on the margins.
And the elephant and octopus image in the Herblock 1965 archive at the Library of Congress.
