John Sharp Williams (Winsor McCay cartoon - original art)

John Sharp Williams sits on a rooftop and declares that he is not afraid of danger, since he is surrounded by metaphorical lightning rods (the Vice-Presidency, the Chairman of the Chairman Committee on Resolutions, the Temporary Chairman, the Presidency, and the Speakership).

Williams: "I never was a'feared of lightning since I'se knee high to a grasshopper"
