Just to break from the trend :)

I don't know how to take this photo as being funny or offending me. (cuz this seems like nazi propaganda)

it is most certainly not nazi propaganda, infact it is possibly as far away from nazi propaganda as one can get.

the cartoon shows how the "spinless leaders of democracy" were made a fool of by the tyrant Hitler, it shows Hitler progressing on without a care in the world knowing the "spineless leaders" won't do anything to stop him.

The cartoonist is David Low. Very famous British cartoonist both before and after the war. His cartoons made fun of the whole Appeasement policy of Britain and infact in 1937 the German Government asked Britain to have " "discussions with the notorious Low" in an effort to "bring influence to bear on him" to stop his cartoons attacking appeasement. "

History lesson over, I just wanted people to know that political humour doesn't end at the White House

Ah, David Low, a particular favourite of mine, occurring in all history books of WWII.

are you seriously comparing the U.S. to Nazi Germany? :dubious:

After hearing about the base closures. I decided to whip up my own Political Cartoon.

are you seriously comparing the U.S. to Nazi Germany? :dubious:
No, Ted Rahl is :D
Keep up the good work, Teddy! (Read Generalissimo El Busho, hilarious!)

are you seriously comparing the U.S. to Nazi Germany? :dubious:
OK, I must ask for the patience of other posters, since I will have to explain this cartoon.
This cartoon suggests no such thing, and neither do I.
USA is of course not a Nazi society, but it clearly has fascistoid traits which seems to grow stronger under its current administration.
Relevant here is e.g religious fundamentalism, chauvinism, croonyism and cooperation with big business, imperialism, and the belief that international conflicts should be used with the help of military actions.I see all those abundant in US politics..
There is absolutely no reference to genocide, race supremacy or totalitarianism in that cartoon, but rather a gentle hint that certain actions and arguments defending those are to be condemned.
I might also add that it is a heavy responsibility upon every decent American not to develop the country into a direction which would actually make such a comparison relevant, even it if is a far way to go yet.Because the chosen direction seems to be the wrong one...

there are much more tactful ways to imply such a message, maybe a comparison to an imperial england or France. (Note: not that i think those traits are brought to an extreme here, i'd debate them, but this is the P.C. thread, to laugh at politics) [holds self back]

Sorry wrong thread

http://cagle.slate.msn.com/working/050518/harville.jpg

http://cagle.slate.msn.com/working/050520/asay.gif

This is my first post on this thread. You guys have blown my mind, split my sides and challenged my views. Time to repay the favour. I hope to find time to post many more. Here's some from a legendary guy in my book: Herbert Block. I love the aesthetics of the sketches too.

WWII:
http://nucite.net/isWext.php/4058/59315.jpg
Iran and Iraq were vital to both the Allies and the Axis during World War II, because of their location and their oil reserves. As part of the Nazi-Soviet Pact of 1939, Germany and the Soviet Union had agreed on the division of Eastern Europe, and might have contemplated a similar division in the Middle East. Hitler made other plans and on June 22, 1941, Germany invaded the Soviet Union.
http://nucite.net/isWext.php/4058/59313.jpg
During the "war in Europe" one of Herblock's most effective cartoons was this one, based on movie travelogues that ended with a farewell to the visiting country. Here the goodbye is in the picturing of countries that had fallen under Nazi rule.
http://nucite.net/isWext.php/4058/59314.jpg
Increasing the German birthrate was a top Nazi priority, even as Hitler sent more young men off to war. The Nazis instituted programs glorifying motherhood, providing financial incentives for those with large families, even encouraging "Aryan"-looking young women to bear children out of wedlock.
http://nucite.net/isWext.php/4058/59316.jpg
One of the principal problems faced by Roosevelt and Churchill was the enormous toll of shipping sunk by German submarines.

And I couldn't make my first post without these:
http://nucite.net/isWext.php/4058/59317.jpg
With the only superpower on earth enjoying record prosperity, Herb Block offers in this recent work some reminders of unfinished business and non-business.
http://nucite.net/isWext.php/4058/59318.jpg
This cartoon appeared shortly after the Columbine High School massacre in Littleton, Colorado, in which two teenagers shot and killed twelve of their fellow students and a teacher before turning their weapons on themselves. This horrifying event followed other widely reported acts of violence with firearms in U.S. schools. Herb Block comments, "Many joined the gun lobby in seeking causes everywhere except in the easy availability of firearms."

Herblock exposes inadequacies in sentencing by comparing the lengthy prison term meted out to a criminal involved in a drug use charge, with the relatively short term for the prisoner convicted of murder. The War on Drugs in the late 1980s and early 1990s resulted in harsher terms for those involved in drug-related activities. By 1999, prison populations had swelled with those serving long mandatory sentences for non-violent offenses. The long sentences for the use of crack (cooked cocaine) compared to those for use of the more expensive cocaine powder illustrate another inequity. The American Bar Association reported that by far the majority of arrests were for possession rather than dealing, and that the stiffer sentences did not deter actual criminal activity.

WWII:
http://nucite.net/isWext.php/4058/59315.jpg
Iran and Iraq were vital to both the Allies and the Axis during World War II, because of their location and their oil reserves. As part of the Nazi-Soviet Pact of 1939, Germany and the Soviet Union had agreed on the division of Eastern Europe, and might have contemplated a similar division in the Middle East. Hitler made other plans and on June 22, 1941, Germany invaded the Soviet Union.
Hehehe, love that one. :goodjob:

"Voice or not voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. This is easy. All you have to do is tell them that they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for their lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country."

This is very relevant:

And here's another Herbert Block which is equally relevant. I dug this out for some thread somewhere else and hadn't got it on this thread. It is slightly related if we look at the 'nurturing of future enemies' strategies and also the effect of paying off hostage takers with arms. (accompanying text below)

http://nucite.net/isWext.php/4518/65071.jpg

Arms payoff for hostage release
On November 2, 1986, an American hostage was released by an Iranian group that had held him captive for more than seventeen months. It was soon reported that his release was linked to a transfer of military spare parts to Iran. President Ronald Reagan commented that such a story "has no foundation" and "is making it more difficult to get the other hostages out." Herb Block comments, "But the story was true, and the trading of arms actually provided an incentive for the taking of more hostages. Appearing on television, Reagan said forcefully, ‘We did not, repeat not, trade weapons or anything else for hostages.' When this was proven to be untrue, he later made a carefully worded retraction. He left it to Attorney General Meese to disclose the diversion of arms-sales funds to Nicaraguan contra rebels, a violation of an act of Congress."

Basically, his Social Security plan met with huge
opposition from the AARP (American Association of
Retired Persons), which is one of the most powerful
interest groups in this country. They even ran an
advert where the Bush plan was the eqivalent of tearing
down your house to fix a leaky faucet. When the
extent of public opposition became clear, Republican
congressmen abandonded Bush in droves.

http://robert-mugabe.biography.ms/

http://cagle.slate.msn.com/working/050606/sorenson.gif

Please let me introduce one of the western world’s most famous political cartoonists – William Hogarth.

This man worked largely in England during the early 18th century and produced oil paintings, etchings and pencil drawings AFAIK. These appeared as posters, portraits in stately homes and, as printing methods accelerated, in publications too. Back then cartoonists were known as ‘Pictorial Satirists’ and they were every bit as effective, if not more.

I’m going to start with one of Hogarth’s most famous pieces, which came as a pair of prints, like much of the work he did. It appeared at a time when England was slipping into debauched, alcoholic depravity with increasing sales of cheap booze (indeed much of Hogarth’s work deals with moral depravity). Yet 'Gin Lane' had an immediate impact. During the same year it was published, parliament passed the Gin act which regulated the sale of alcohol.

Gin Lane
http://nucite.net/isWext.php/4662/67555.jpg

Gin Lane is arguably Hogarth's most famous work of engraved art. Along with its companion, Beer Street, Gin Lane addressed a very real problem in mid eighteenth century England -- the abuse of spirits by the working classes and the poor. In the right foreground an emaciated ballad singer has just passed away. His left hand still clutches his bottle. Even worse, a drunken woman is taking her snuff while her unattended baby falls to his death in front of the Gin Royal Tavern. Behind the wall a man and his dog fight for a bone. Further back, a man pawns his coat and saw and his wife her kitchen utensils for a few more drinks. The sour faced pawn broker is appropriately named, "S. Gripe". Both his wealthy home and clothes stand in direct contrast to the ruination around. Only pawn brokers, coffin makers and distillers profit in such a society. Various scenes of mayhem fill the street in the background. Murder and other forms of violence are anything but uncommon. Above a disrepaired building is about to crash to the ground and in the ruins of another house a man has committed suicide. Below him, the 'Kilman Distiller' has made a thriving trade by selling its gin to school children. Hogarth's Gin Lane had an immediate impact. During the same year it was published, parliament passed the Gin act which regulated the sale of alcohol.

The nightmare of Gin Lane (1750) is not simply one of endemic alcoholism brought about by the uncontrolled sale of cheap liquor. The disorder runs deeper than this; such anarchy is also the outcome of luxury, with the lower orders running riot as their social superiors turn away from their rightful roles as moral guardians.

And the heaven to that hell was:

Beer Street
http://nucite.net/isWext.php/4662/67554.jpg

Beer Street provides a revealing glimpse of an ideal society. 'Here', as Hogarth himself remarked, 'all is joyous and thriving. Industry and jollity go hand in hand.' In this well ordered scene, the various classes intermingle in a state of harmony, industry and leisure are properly balanced, prosperity is shared by all but the pawnbroker - who runs the only business to flourish amidst the squalor of Gin Lane. The Englishness of the scene is insistent. The drinkers are solid, straightforward working men - a butcher, a blacksmith and a paviour. In the first state of the print the blacksmith tackles a scrawny French sailor, whom he casually hoists into the air; in a later version of the scene, the foreigner is replaced by that most English of emblems, a shoulder of mutton. Good old English beer is extolled for its health-giving qualities and its contribution to the nation's superiority. The bullish nationalism which could conceive Beer Street as a model of ordered prosperity founded on the liberties of the free-born Englishman was troubled by a niggling pessimism, however.

But such condemnation of the working classes was rare. The main victims of Hogarth’s biting satire were of course the wealthy, frivolous, decadent, corrupt and morally bankrupt upper classes. Basically, those in power – it didn’t matter who, they all got it to some degree or other.

The Clergy in The Sleepy Congregation
http://nucite.net/isWext.php/4662/67551.jpg

The Sleepy Congregation is one of Hogarth's most delightful comments upon the church. An old, nearsighted preacher delivers his sermon from his pulpit on high. The hourglass beside him has emptied, illustrating that his sermon has been going on far too long. From the standpoint of all those slumbering before him it is ironic that his subject from the Bible is, "Come unto me all ye that Labour and are Heavy Laden and I will give you Rest." Below the preacher sits the clerk whose attention is fixed on nothing resembling the sacred. The sleeping, attractive girl of his glare has fallen asleep reading the only passage of the Bible that interests her; "Of Matrimony." The majority of the men asleep in the pews are snoring. The only members of the congregation that are awake are two aged women whose conical hats give them the appearance of witches. About twenty-five years later Hogarth again returned to the them of a religious congregation in his engraving, Credulity, Superstition and Fanaticism. Where the satire in The Sleepy Congregation is both gentle and humourous, the imagery in the later engraving focuses upon the destructiveness and even madness of religious worship and zeal. It is much less dangerous to be bored and sleepy than to be consumed by fire and brimstone.

The Art World in Time Smoking a Picture
http://nucite.net/isWext.php/4662/68016.jpg

Time Smoking a Picture deals with art connoisseurs and their mislead enthusiasm for old master paintings of any quality or lack thereof, because of the popular notion that 'time' both improved and mellowed art. Hogarth's portrayal of time and his activities is less than flattering. He sits upon a statue he has utterly destroyed. The detached head, without a nose, wears a tortured expression. A severed hand points directly to time's ever darkening varnish. 'Time' meanwhile is viewing a painting which he blackens and obscures with the voluminous smoke from his pipe. He has also carelessly ripped a great hole in the canvas with his scythe. The quotation in Greek written on the upper part of the frame reads, "Time is not a great artist but weakens all he touches."

The Educational Establishment in The Scholars.
http://nucite.net/isWext.php/4662/67550.jpg

For Hogarth, as for many others concerned by the direction in which the nation was headed, modern society was tainted by two corrosive diseases which threatened to poison public spirit and sow the seeds of moral and political decline. Both threats - financial speculation and parliamentary corruption - were at one and the same time symptoms and causes of luxury. Both, it was feared, loosened the bonds of duty which had allowed Britons a level of freedom, affluence and power unrivalled in continental Europe by transforming citizens committed to the common good into rapacious and unprincipled egotists.

World’s End
http://nucite.net/isWext.php/4662/67553.jpg

Thursday, 9 June, 2005, 11:20 GMT 12:20 UK

Police have warned they will deal "ruthlessly" with any street protests.

The strike comes in response to a crackdown in which police say 30,000 people were detained, while thousands of homes and businesses have been demolished and as many as 200,000 made homeless.

The government says the demolitions are necessary to clean up Zimbabwe's urban areas and crack down on those involved in illegally trading foreign currency and scarce foodstuffs, such as sugar.

A pair on China / Taiwan, interestingly both by the same cartoonist and for the same paper. Have I misunderstood it or are they both say completely opposite things? :hmm:

Dr. Seuss aka Theodor Seuss Geisel

Dr. Seuss (Theodor Seuss Geisel, 1904-1991) was a life-long cartoonist: in high school in Springfield, Massachusetts; in college at Dartmouth (Class of 1925); as an adman in New York City before World War II; in his many children's books, beginning with To Think That I Saw it on Mulberry Street (1937). Because of the fame of his children's books (and because we often misunderstand these books) and because his political cartoons have remained largely unknown, we do not think of Dr. Seuss as a political cartoonist. But for two years, 1941-1943, he was the chief editorial cartoonist for the New York newspaper PM (1940-1948), and for that journal he drew over 400 editorial cartoons.

The Dr. Seuss Collection in the Mandeville Special Collections Library at the University of California, San Diego, contains the original drawings and/or newspaper clippings of all of these cartoons. This website makes these cartoons available to all internet users. The cartoons have been scanned from the original newspaper clippings in the UCSD collection.

Dr. Seuss Goes to War by historian Richard H. Minear (The New Press, 1999) reproduced some two hundred of the PM cartoons. That means that two hundred of the cartoons available here have received no airing or study since their original appearance in PM. The cartoons Dr. Seuss published in other journals are even less known; there is no mention of them in Dr. Seuss Goes to War. Dr. Seuss also drew a set of war bonds "cartoons" which appeared in many newspapers as well as in PM. They are the [above]:Full catalogue here > Theodor Seuss Geisel (http://orpheus.ucsd.edu/speccoll/dspolitic/Frame.htm)

This one is just too funny.

FF: Those news and media one's are excellent! I especially like the ADD one.

Bit more Dr Seuss for you all now, simply because these cartoons are so damn rare.

These show America during it's APARTHEID phase. These throw some interesting light on the development of America's Civil Rights movement. Let us please note that these cartoons came about 20 years prior to the Civil Rights movements highest phase.

Hmm, the maze reminds me of the library in Ghost in the Shell.

Bit like the Tower of Babel too now you mention it.

This guy is up next from me: Gomaa Farhat, from Egypt. This is a sneak preview of his style and humour. I'll be unleashing more from him when I get bored at work tomorrow.

Hahaha. Excellent Marla! :thumbsup:

I find it quite interesting how Bush or Uncle Sam gets depicted differently around the world. Don't know where yours are from but the authority figure in yours seems to resemble African and S. American dictators in appearance.

So here are somemore from Gomaa Farhat:

This one is just for you Marla :mischief:

This one is just for you Marla :mischief:Yeah that one is pretty good. ;)
This is so true unfortunately.

which i dont get it....

I'm guessing that the bearded thin man is supposed to be the United States and the smoke is meant to represent Iraq. The dark figure in the background represents Africa and the man to the right is Japan. The EU I'm guessing is supposed to be some kind of superhero? Can anyone please give me an explanation?

Everyone wants help from the EU but the EU is only looking into itself.

That's my interpretation of it anyway. :)

that's how I see it. Problems problems everywhere and the EU's not doing a thing

I see it that the figures are indeed the nations and troubles that Lord Almighty identified. Perhaps the man on the right in the suit represents economic and trade relation with China or East Asia, rather than just Japan.

The overall point of the piece I thought was: Whilst all this is going on in the world the EU is just naval gazing. It is not being as effective as it could be in military, trade and humanitarian relations and that is because it's spending so much of its energies on sorting itself out. There's nothing of the superhero in that.

See what you make of this one :mischief:
