Husband – 20th Century in Cartoons – 1930s

So, I am reading – a decade a day – the late great Tony Husband’s book The 20th Century in Cartoons” (to be clear, he selected them, he didn’t draw them.)  See also The Onion’s Our Dumb Century.  

This decade, in my mind is one of…depression and fascism (the two entwined)

What I didn’t know:
President Hoover, July 17 1932

“we have a solid backlog of assurance that there need be no hunger and cold in the United States.”  

Events I hoped/expected to see but were missing (but there’s only so much you can get in!): 

More on anti-semitism, but of course displaying any of those cartoons is a pretty heavy thing to do…

Three best cartoons 

1. Hitler kitty and Stalin
