The artifact that I am analyzing is the cover page of a cold war propaganda comic book. The propaganda object appealed to me because the way that the United States used biased information as a method to influence the public to view an issue a certain way seemed comical and attention-grabbing. The cover page also fits with the themes of this course in that the picture foreshadows a dystopian society as a result of a more modernized idea. The comic book, called Is This Tomorrow: America Under Communism, was published in 1947 by the Catechetical Guild Educational Society, an anti-communist group. The comic book was intended to inform the citizens about the dangers of the possible spread of communism through scare tactics and pathos. For instance, false dilemma is expressed in the picture by claiming that either the citizens of the United States stay away from communism or the United States will fall apart as a nation, and hasty generalization is used to demonstrate that all communists are evil because the communists represented in the picture are harming the Americans. The cover page is also farce in the way that the fire is destroying everything. The picture of the cover page is designed to encourage fear of communism in America and a sense of nationalism in that the public can come together to defeat the common enemy being communism. The author assumes that the audience, being Americans, can be manipulated enough to be brainwashed through the fear of the country crumpling as a result of communist influence. The message of the cover page directly relates to the rise of the Cold War and the panic of communism threatening national security. As a whole, the cover page attracted me because of everything that I can gain from the message of the picture intellectually and emotionally.
