...Portrait of G.I.s At the end of World War II, TIME did a cover story on Pulitzer-prize-winning cartoonist Bill Mauldin and the fellow soldiers he depicted for American military newspapers [June 18, 1945]. Private Mauldin's famous drawings showed folks at home what it was like to be in the trenches.

Framework Convention on Climate Change, which specifically deals with “greenhouse gases not controlled by the Montreal Protocol,” including Carbon Dioxide. If the cartoonist wanted to make a real political statement, she should have drawn a globe that was sweating while clinching onto the Kyoto Accords (but, of course, many other cartoonists have done this in other newspapers...

After joining the magazine in 1930, Steig produced some 1,700 drawings and cover illustrations, often featuring humorously worldly children he called Small Fry who exposed the craziness of modern life. At age 60, he began a successful second career writing children's books.
