This political cartoon titled "Good shot, Mr. President" depicts a hunting scene with satirical intent. A tall figure in hunting attire (likely representing a U.S. President, though the specific president is unclear from the image alone) stands with a rifle aimed at targets labeled "Rocky Mountains" and what appears to be "White House." A smaller figure beside him, possibly a hunting guide or advisor, offers approval of the shot. The satire likely critiques the President's policies or actions—perhaps regarding conservation, western expansion, or domestic affairs. The "White House" target suggests self-inflicted political damage or ironic policy decisions. Without additional context about the publication date, the specific meaning remains somewhat ambiguous, though the cartoon clearly mocks presidential judgment or decision-making.
