...cartoon is really an editorial," Cartoonist Rollin Kirby once said. "It must be judged by what it says rather than the way in which it says it, and what art there is in cartooning is the art of driving the message home." For more than 40 years, slim, courtly Rollin Kirby practiced this art with such skill that he had few peers in U.S. newspaperdom...
...Prohibition, which he pictured as "Mr. Dry," a sniveling, psalm-singing, bluenosed personification of cant and bigotry. When the Ku Klux Klan invaded the Midwest in the '20s, Kirby flayed its leaders mercilessly. He won three Pulitzer Prizes, the last in 1928 for a pro-Al Smith cartoon, 'Tammany!", which showed a paunchy, string-tied figure labeled "G.O.P." raising his hands in horror at the very thought of Tammany Hall, while behind him stood an unsavory chorus of such figures as Secretary of the Interior Albert Fall, Attorney General Harry Daugherty and other Republicans implicated in the Teapot...

Among the expensive red and black illustrations: a cartoon of a hairy-handed Joe Stalin pinning a medal on barrel-chested Ike.† The caption: "When an archcriminal decorates an individual, this individual must have served him well...
...Hughes, who took it under his wing as the studio's best low-budget film. Largely on the movie's merits, Producer Stanley Rubin, 34, onetime TV film producer, was signed as a producer-writer by 20th Century-Fox, and Director Richard Fleischer, 35, son of Animated Cartoon Pioneer Max (Betty Boop, Popeye the Sailor) Fleischer, was handed a directorial contract by Producer Stanley Kramer. For its trigger-paced suspense, their little picture is worthy of being bracketed in the select group of train thrillers headed by Alfred Hitchcock's The Lady Vanishes and Carol Reed...
