Ronald Reagan Shot (1981)


1981 Dry Bones cartoon: U.S., U.S.A., Ronald Reagan, President, America, Politics, Assassination, Shooting, 1981

Today's Golden Oldie is from 1981.

Today's cartoon was published 30 years ago this month, in 1981, four days after U.S. President (and former Hollywood movie star) Ronald Reagan was shot, in an unsuccessful assasination attempt.

As "Wikipedia recalls:

"The Reagan assassination attempt occurred on Monday, March 30, 1981, just 69 days into the presidency of Ronald Reagan. While leaving a speaking engagement at the Washington Hilton Hotel in Washington, D.C., President Reagan and three others were shot and wounded by John Hinckley, Jr. Reagan suffered a punctured lung, but prompt medical attention allowed him to recover quickly.

Reagan was the first serving United States president to survive being shot in an assassination attempt." -more
