A quintessential Weege work from his early period, a satirical mash-up of American cheesecake and small arms weaponry printed against a background of topical text concerning atomic warfare. The stars and stripes on the cowgirl's unitard are highlighted with an applied coat of glitter-paint. The "Myron" referred to in the title is presumably Myron Tupa, Weege's college roommate at the University of Wisconsin, from whose collection the piece was acquired.
