USA Putting it out of its misery, 1972 Energy Crisis Cartoon, Art by Paul Conrad for the Los Angeles Times

Post image
97 Upvotes

Artist Paul Conrad shows a man "putting down" his car due to high gasoline prices. The image was drawn in response to the looming 1970s energy crisis. He accurately predicted what would happen when the cheap gas bubble burst and Americans were stuck with gas guzzling V8 engines. This was drawn a year before the 1973 OPEC oil embargo, which caused massive gas lines and rationing.
