"What did America's top cartoonists do during the war? World War II [in the USA] was a time of blackouts, shortages, victory gardens and scrap drives. Popular cartoon characters like Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Little Lulu and Superman - and their cartoonist creators - enlisted to cvonquer wartime fears and pitch in to fight for victory. It was also a time of great social upheaval, with women flooding into factories, Japanese Americans forced into internment camps, and African Americans fighting for freedom abroad and equality at home. America's cartoonists aimed their pens not only at the enemy but at the problems, injustices, and changes at home, offering funny, sarcastic, and sometimes sobering commentary ... More than 90% of the cartoons and comics inside [this book] have not been seen since first publication"--Publisher's description |
