Supermac (cartoon)

This article is about a depiction of politician Harold Macmillan. For other uses, see Supermac (disambiguation).

"Super-Mac" was a 1958 cartoon image of Harold Macmillan, which became an enduring nickname for him.

With its rather dismissive caption, "How to Try to Continue to be Top Without Actually Having Been There",[1] the cartoon image, by "Vicky" (Victor Weisz)[2] first appeared in the Evening Standard on 6 November 1958.[2] It depicted a caricature of Harold Macmillan, the British Prime Minister at the time, in the guise of the comic-book hero Superman.
