Jack Davissupplied the artwork for numerous Time magazine covers. Here is one with a lot of finger-pointing. The April 30, 1973 cover refers to the great Watergate scandal in the Nixon White House. At the time, I thought it was a fantastic magazine cover. It has held up remarkably well.

Note: Say, does anyone remember a similar illustration published after the Space Shuttle Challenger Disaster? It depicts a circle of finger-pointers, one of them labelled Thiokol, and was entitled "The O-Ring." It may or may not be by Jack Davis. If you have a scan of it, I'd love to see it for purposes of comparison and to refresh my memory. If it is indeed by Jack Davis, I might even like to include it in this post.
You're in luck! I have another post on Jack Davishere.
