Mandeville Special Collections Library presents a gallery of political
cartoons created by children's author, illustrator, and lifelong
cartoonist Theodor Seuss Geisel. During the war years of 1941-1943, Seuss
served as editorial cartoonist for the New York newspaper "PM,"
and his patriotic "war bond" cartoons appeared in many other
newspapers as well. Hundreds of high-quality scanned images from the
original clippings can be viewed and printed easily. Although the subject
matter here is hardly light-hearted, and some of the wartime ethnic
stereotyping may be a bit disconcerting, you're sure to spot some
familiar-looking felines and other remarkably Seussian creatures in
unfamiliar settings.
