Chicken Little Was Right
1968

A vibrant graphic poster featuring a cartoon chick in the center wearing a blue shirt and a peace symbol necklace, standing on a pink heart with the word "HICKEY" written in a stylized font. The chick is holding a flag with the word "Peace" repeated in alternating pink and white stripes. Surrounding the chick are five red airplanes with the word "HICKEY" dropping from them as if they were bombs, against a stark black background.
