As per the printed artist's statement: "In his biography, Al Jaffee states, 'I hated the Vietnam War. And on top of it, to pour acid into an open wound, you've got these fucking generals and colonels coming home from the war and they have the temerity to fill their chests with medals announcing how wonderful war is and how many people they killed.' As a response to the Vietnam War, Al Jaffee created "The General" in the late 1960s. Printed for the first time, this bold and scathing artwork is as relevant today as it was when drawn over 40 years ago."
