Opis

The great age of the cartoon character took place between World War I and World War II. The adventures of Mickey Mouse, Popeye and Donald Duck were followed avidly by millions. Even the political leaders of the grim world of the 1920s and 1930s were known to millions as cartoon characters - gawky, bespectacled Woodrow Wilson, the balloon-like Mussolini, and the moustache men Hitler, Stalin, Neville Chamberlain and Ramsey Macdonald. Published in newspapers or magazines with a wide circulation, political cartoons revealed much about popular concern in the world of the Depression, rising nationalism and aggression.
