A political cartoon published June 2, 2009, shows two white gravestones against a solid green background. The left stone bears the name Dr. Tiller. The right stone bears the name Anti-Abortion Movement. A single yellow flower with green stem rests on the grass in front of each stone.

The cartoon appeared in the Hartford Courant one day after the funeral of Dr. George Tiller. Tiller, a physician who performed late-term abortions at his Wichita clinic, was shot and killed May 31, 2009, while serving as an usher at his church. Scott Roeder, an anti-abortion activist, was later convicted of the murder.

The image pairs the death of the individual with the supposed death of the movement that opposed his work. Both stones receive identical floral tributes, implying equal finality. The simple composition and matching flowers form the central visual argument.

The cartoon ran under the signature of Bob Englehart, longtime editorial cartoonist for the Hartford Courant. It was distributed through Cagle Cartoons. The date stamp 6/2/09 appears beside the signature.
