...Press one day last fortnight appeared a cartoon which, if it had been printed in the Communist Daily Worker or New Masses, would almost certainly have caused Representative Fish to intro duce a resolution in Congress and the Hearst Press to roar: "The Revolution is AT HAND." U. S. hunters outnumber the U. S. Army 30-to-1. The cartoon summoned them to take up arms against the Government. It showed a mighty army of sportsmen, scientists, bird-lovers and miscellaneous conservationists armed with double-barreled shotguns and high-powered rifles marching on Washington, forcibly dragging a bewhiskered "Congress...
...reason why the cartoon did not get its author and publishers arrested for treason was that it had been drawn by patriotic Jay Norwood ("Ding") Darling, appeared in the arch-Republican New York Herald Tribune and its syndicate customers. Another reason was that, at the time, any hope of united action by U. S. conservationists seemed pure fantasy. For years the people who want to look at animals and the people who want to shoot them have fought each other far more vigorously than they have fought for the preservation and replenishment of the nation's wild life resources...
Such stuff stared Clevelanders in the face last week as they opened their newspapers. Cartoon strips told the tale of the businessman who nearly lost wife & job for lack of a cup of tea.

...example, has happily seized upon the delight of miniatures, of 100 doll-house bric-a-brac, latent in the "Travels", and given them a separate existence, the satire being discarded. Disney has come a long way from the days when visual puns were the heart of an animated cartoon. You remember: Felix the Cat used to have trouble entering fourth-story windows, only to sprout columns of huge question marks out of his head and use them as the necessary ladder. Insead of this we now have visual metaphors. The break of day, for example, is represented by the somber...
...Carolina home last week, Mr. Hutton must have sat bolt upright when he heard the reaction to his suggestion. Angry editorials burgeoned. Chairman O'Connor of the House Lobby Committee thought Mr. Hutton should be investigated. Mr. Hutton's trim, dapper figure appeared in a Rollin Kirby cartoon, soliciting Big Business support to "gang" Franklin D. Roosevelt. President Colby Chester of General Foods hastily disclaimed his chairman's ideas as representing corporate policy. A market letter of Weingarten & Co. offered Stockbroker Hutton some sage advice: "Interests and forces opposed to the Administration can accomplish much more...
