I've mentioned scanning all the Dr. Seuss political cartoons from PM on occasion, but I'm not sure everybody knows just how nifty they were.
The alert viewer will no doubt observe the similarity to a later theme in such Seuss works as "Hejji" and The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T. Viewers with four-year-olds may note that the similarity extends to an episode of "Higglytown Heroes" (aka "Wiffleburg Wierdos" to some of us) that shamelessly ripped the good Doctor off.
Anyway, most of the cartoons are fascinating. Some have themes he developed later (like the Pile Of Turtles). One or two are, as a connoisseur of terrible fake Japanese accents might say, "most leglettable," like the one where he shows an endless line of Nisei being handed bombs. I guess nobody's perfect, alas.
Anyway, I have too many favorites to start linking them all now. If these weren't online already, I'd probably add them all to my list of stuff to scan. Dodged a bullet!
