Scrooge Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 As far back as 1933, Hitler was paving the way for the culture in Germany, or obliteration thereof, with coordinated and simultaneous book burning in 30 University towns across the country - For a video see this link. The burnings happened in May, the cartoon is dated November 15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they all from Cartoonists' Vision by Roy Douglas? Haven't started to scan from that book yet. The chronological Chicago Tribune cartoons I've been posting are from War Cartoons, a 1942 book reprinting the cartoons from the Tribune newspaper covering the Dec. 8, 1941 period to September 28, 1942.

BangZoom Posted December 6, 2008 Author Share Posted December 6, 2008 More ramping up to the War with the strange alliance of Adolf and Benito on a platform they are both ill-fitted to represent. In the end, the world is not fooled by what drum Hitler walks by - I was unfamiliar with Bruce Russell so I Googled him and found the following: Bruce A. Russell was born in Los Angeles in 1903. He later attended UCLA before becoming a cartoonist for the Los Angeles Times. Russell won the Pulitzer Prize for his work in 1946, and in 1951 received The Edward A. Dickson UCLA Alumnus of the Year Award. Russell was also a part of President Eisenhower's Cartoonists Committee, and headed the American Association of Editorial Cartoonists as president. UCLA acquired Bruce Alexander Russell’s editorial cartoons during the Summer of 1961. The acquisition included originals to Russell’s editorial cartoons that appeared in the Los Angeles Times from 1934 to 1961. The material covered under Russell’s cartoons were: the Roosevelt, Eisenhower, and Truman administrations, World War II, the Cold War, and the Korean War.

Scrooge Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Just for you BZ, from Douglas' book, a couple of Soviet cartoons from the magazine Krokodil from September 1939 when the Soviet troops invaded Poland. In the top panel of the first cartoon, you can in fact see the troops bringing down the White Eagle, symbol of Poland. The second panel represents the Soviet view that the invasion is driven by the desire to allow Polish peasants to take over their landlord's estate (in the background, the crowd is pointing to it). The second cartoon echoes the exact same sentiment. The title is: Moment of Truth" The Polish officer on the horse asks: "Take action. Our country is in peril." The peasants reply: "We don't know about yours, but ours is completely safe." Again, in the Soviet view, the interests of workers and peasants lay in revolutionary, not in national, conflict and the Soviet Union was the spearhead of their interests. Sadly, in 2 year's time, the Poles will know that it was by no means "safe". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
