Anthony Perkins in "Look Homeward, Angel," which played at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre from November 28, 1957 to March 7, 1959, and then moved to the 54th Street Theatre from March 9 to April 4, 1959. It won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1958 for playwright Ketti Frings, based on the novel by Thomas Wolfe.
From a legal standpoint, having states attempt to individually decide on eligibility for federal office under the US Constitution was bound to end up before the US Supreme Court. That's not a surprise.
Probably the best outcome we can hope for is that SCOTUS will say that a conviction for insurrection would be needed to make Trump ineligible.
But we should not rely on the courts to save us from doom. We need to start right now talking up democracy, getting every moderate to liberal eligible voter to register and vote, and be more visible about supporting Team Blue. Preaching to the choir may feel good but we need to go forth and do some political missionary work.
Relevant to the cartoon: Actively remind people that it's the president who nominates US Supreme Court justices and it's US senators who vote to confirm them. Useless "protest votes" for impotent third parties can have a catastrophic effect on the federal judiciary for decades.

If you follow this blog, you know I absolutely love everything Earth Two written by Roy Thomas at DC in the 1980s, from All-Star Squadron to Infinity Inc to Young All-Stars and beyond. So when this issue of Alter Ego magazine arrived in the mail yesterday, I was pumped and read it from cover-to-cover in one afternoon. Such fantastic stories about an amazing series that didn't survive very long. I particularly have always been taken with Thomas's theory about the Crisis erasing the big Golden Age heroes but not their energies. I thought replacing the DC trinity with brand new heroes and adding in a few other young guns was an ingenious solution. That's something I miss in today's comics; a commitment to continuity and the clever retcon to solve a continuity problem.
