Description

Cartoon shows the New Zealand Olympic Association as a pavement artist begging for money to support New Zealand's Olympic team at the games in Munich. He is appealing to a peace activist who is passing by with a huge sack of money labelled "Mururoa", collected during recent "fantastic" response from the public to the peace media appeal.

The beggar is sitting in front of a placard with the square NZ logo, later used for the 10th Commonwealth Games, and protected and trademarked under the Commonwealth Games Symbol Protection Act 1974.
