MAD magazine? Gets who?

Specifics help.

Mutually-Assured Destruction. The nukes.

It's one of the easiest political issues because it's one of the most scary. It's never going to happen… right?

I'm interested but I need a simple visual metaphor or joke.

Erm… A person holding a one-handed thumb-button stick attached to a wire attached to a missile pointing at their own head?

That's good too. I feel like it needs a clever caption or speech bubble juxtaposed against the absurdity of that situation.

A USA flag on the missile might be apt.

Ooh! Maybe you could make lots of them, with different nuclear power flags, and put them in the same image. Each, of course, with the missile pointing at their own heads.

Or different flagged missiles aimed at one globe-head?

You're the artist; I'm no good at this kind of thing.

Actually, that idea's growing on me. It really hammers home the self-destructive effect of using these weapons. (Not sure how much point there would be in making a picture of it in the present political climate though; there's no actionable there unless a nuclear power sees it, but they've got advisors for that.)

For some reason this came to mind. Except I thought she had nuclear warhead tits instead of capital tits.

So is there a caption? Or does the globe-head say something?

I don't know! You're the artist here.
