A Different Side to Seuss
"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."
~Richard H. Minear
Theodore "Ted" Seuss Geisel was a very important political cartoon artist. Looking back at his career, he believes that his cartoons and the political posters and other propaganda of the WWII time period "disarmed this country at the time that it was obviously about to be destroyed."
