"We Got To Burn the Devils Out Of Her," 1948. Graphite, ink, and opaque white over graphite underdrawing. Published in the Washington Post as "We Got to Burn the Evil Spirits Out of Her," May 15, 1948. Prints and Photographs Division, Library of Congress (42.00.00). LC-DIG-hlb-01941
Herblock believed that the House Un-American Activities Committee overstepped its bounds first by defining what was un-American and then by acting as a court and judging. Here, he satirizes Congressmen Richard Nixon, J. Parnell Thomas, and Karl Mundt as destroyers of American liberty days before they sent the Mundt-Nixon Bill regulating communist activities to the members of the House for a vote. The bill passed on May 19, 1948, three days after this cartoon appeared, by a vote of 319–58. https://www.loc.gov/exhibits/herblock/here-he-comes-now.html#obj0
