Don't need to ask Midjourney or stable diffusion for a drawing of Hitler in Dr. Seuss's style, the man drew him in every shape imaginable.

Very interesting to see the origins of some famous characters in these cartoons, and a lot of historical context is included.

The editorial cartoons of Theodor Seuss Geisel during World War II. It is interesting look at how propaganda developed during the war. Pre war cartoons show the Doctor disparaging isolationists as well as Hitler and Mussolini. He draws racist cartoons against the Japanese, here and abroad, after Pearl Harbor, while deploring prejudice against Jews and blacks. A very interesting book, certainly one of its time. It is interesting to see Seuss-like characters drumming up support for the Allied cause.

This book is an invaluable resource capturing the American World War II propaganda cartoons of Dr. Seuss (Ted Geisel), albeit one written from a left-wing perspective.

Theodore Geisel (Dr.Seuss) was an impressive political cartoonist before and during WWII. He blasted isolationist Charles Lindbergh and you can see through his cartoons he hated Hitler and the Nazis. You can also see the precedents of Dr. Seuss in his previous art work. Fun to flip through this book but it also has explanations of his cartoons. Worth getting.

Oh, the things you learn by reading!

Wow. Simple yet POWERFUL cartoons with backstory and some extra information about WW2 that make you think at the least.

Also Dr. Seuss is meta af.

Dr. Seuss Goes to War was an interesting look at the talent and life of Dr. Seuss. He was not just a poet he had several strong convictions when it came to world war two.

Minear provides detailed historical context through which to appreciate (or occasionally question) Theodor Geisel’s distinctive, beguilingly Seuss-esque wartime cartoons. Each drawing is presented on its own page but regrettably this is not a complete record. Many more are referenced but not included.

Meme-propaganda executed by an actual artist. During WW2! Interesting how close it is to modern political satire. Also, I didn’t realize how much of a leftist/communist he was, and it is interesting to see what contemporary pro-Stalin comments looked like.

The famous author of many classic American childrens' books was an accomplished editorial cartoonist during the period 1941 to 1943. He drew for the New York newspaper PM. This book contains reproductions of scores of his cartoons (the word seems out of place for such a serious subject) and an informed narrative by author Richard Minear putting the man and his work within the context of the times.

Seuss was achieving some success with his early books for children in the late 1930s. Then his opposition to Italian fascism caused him to create a cartoon lampooning the publisher of a newspaper supporting Mussolini. This cartoon was passed from friend to friend until it came to the attention of the publisher of PM, who published it. That was the start of Seuss's political cartooning. His style employed the fantasy and whimsy of the characters in his books such as "Horton Hatches the Egg" and his later works.

Minear provides insightful commentary on Seuss, the PM newspaper and its publisher, Ralph Ingersoll, and the actions of FDR's New Deal, but the cartoons alone make this a rewarding read.

Other than the oddly large number of cartoons referred to but not shown it was an interesting read.

More analysis then collection

It's staggering to see how far we've come at least I hope this racist, war mongering propaganda wouldn't fly today (can you imagine people volunteering to have money deducted directly off their payroll to fund the war?). The author does a good job scrutinizing the works and their implications. It's fun to see the foreshadowing of his great children's books in these editorial toons.
