Buzzy says Free Speech -- Free for All! Click for the full page. I was looking for a good “Get Out the Vote” PSA since tomorrow is election day, but this was the closest I had. Written by Jack Schiff with art by Win Mortimer, this PSA was originally published in January 1953 DC comics includeing Action Comics #176, Wonder Woman #57, and World’s Finest #62. As was the case with many DC comics PSAs, it was later republished in July 1960 in a such comics as Detective Comics #281, Superboy #82, and Superman’s Girl Friend Lois Lane #18 (where this copy is from).

(Now that I think about it, since most comics at the time were targeted at pre-teen and teen-age boys, there really wasn’t much need for a Remember to Vote PSA.)

Other Patriotic PSAs (more or less):
The US ConstitutionThe U.S. Constitution (straightforward PSA about the Constitution.)
Airboy and the ConstitutionAirboy and the Constitution (Free Speech and schools, from the Airboy comic.)
Are You a Red Dupe?Are You a Red Dupe? (1950s anti-communist screed.)

    Mr Brown isn’t cut out for politics. These days, they’d tear him apart with wild dogs right after they finished calling him a stinking liberal terrorist-sympathising gayer.

    Look, Mr. Brown, if you’re not with us, you’re in gitmo with a bag over your head while some female SSgt. pees on your butt.
