 * Sample Cartoon: **

My political cartoon gives a very bare-basic summary of what happened in the war. Egypt and Syria both attack Israel on Yom Kippur to catch Israel off guard. Egypt and Syria were making gains before the Israelites turned the war around when they fully mobilized albeit at a heavy cost. Egypt makes a peace treaty with Israel where the Sinai Peninsula was given back to Egypt while Syria suffers a military defeat and loses more of its land. Jackie Wang
