I realize it is not my place to judge. But I felt compelled to bring this to the staff’s attention. They have the wrong cartoon with [this](http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a1_336b.html) Straightdope classic. Clearly it is titled > [@](#): > > Has the U.S. ever minted a mill coin? And equally clearly that cartoon is of former Soviet head [Leonid Brezhnev](http://www.marxists.org/glossary/people/b/pics/brezhnev.jpg). I could be wrong, but I am pretty sure the Brezhnev cartoon is from another SD classic, possibly one on the excesses of the former Soviet upper class 😕 . Though someone please correct me if I am wrong 🙂 . ---

I wondered about that cartoon myself, though I wasn’t sure enough of myself to post about it. ---

I’ll ask Ed, but I did check this against the master list he gave me, and that’s the graphic listed for that particular classic. Sometimes Slug just sees things from a . . . different perspective. your humble TubaDiva Administrator ---

The linked question and answer is pretty short, so perhaps it was the second part of a two-parter column. The illustration may have been connected to the first part of the column in a way that was actually intelligible in the real people world (such as it is) and not just the Slug world. Or I could be entirely wrong and it is just something from the lovably twisted brain of Mr. Sigarino. ---

I was going to say that was a good theory, since the filename is “a1\_336b.html” and the b probably means it’s the second one. But on further investigation, I can’t figure out the naming at all. Sometimes the a and b for a given number are years apart. Regardless, if that is how it works, the other one is probably a1\_336a.html, which is not online. ---

Ed’s told us that there was a goof in which picture got assigned to which column… **TubaDiva** will get it fixed shortly. Thanks for calling it to our attention. ---

Looks the same to me. I even tried it from the front page. ---
