To combine such a high level of, on the one hand, serious seriousness, and on the other hand, endless droll wit, via such a simple medium, once again illustrates the cartoonist's art in its highest form.

Where you find these little gems, I'll never know, but that was an interesting look back to a very sad time.

In some ways that excellently done cartoon is true to day as then on too many levels to count.

I noticed how the material treated the watchers as part of the joke winking along with its crowd at the facts on the byplays plus the serious nature of the subject as well. They sure treated the audiences like adults who think.
If we where the three pigs which house is the one we built? My guess would be the straw house.

it's easy to tell the truth. this stuff is great. a pig as the national map is too much. imagine how the rop would react to that today.

How can you mock such a serious event.?

How can stereotype nazi's and hitler....oh my goodness are you asking for another lawsuit?

(End faux outrage)

Great clip, remeber watching it on Saturday morning TV. When cartoons still taught something relevant, peace through strength.

Swastika sausages? We'd better alert Kinsella.

Humph.

Tex Avery was a genius in every sense of the word. He helped introduce such classic characters as Bugs Bunny, Porky Pig, and Daffy Duck. Even today, I like watching Teletoon when they show retrospectives, bowlderized as they are, with my kids.

I enjoyed that Kate. Thank-you. I liked the Gone with the Wind reference (The best film of all time, IMO) and the satire on things mostly buried in history. The 'stinker' that was used by my family for years (pigs and swashstinka) and 'bombs away' - whenever us kids jumped off a roof we yelled 'bombs away' first. Do kids still do that?

Here's another comic story that I'm sure the Left would like to see banned.

Wonder how come we don't see new cartoons similarly depicting the likes of modern Hitlers like Ahmadinejad and Hu?

Al gore sits on his duff too long and sat on a thumb tack

Hmmmm,have to try some B-12.

You should have been in a theater full of an audience of servicemen and women, and families separated from their loved ones. Those cartoons were greatly appreciated and did a lot for morale.
The teenagers counted the days and months until they could enlist and take part in this great adventure.
I'd hate to repeat that period in history, but those were the days my friends.
(Can't imagine where Lucy would have fit into that scenario - and all those serving on the HRC boards as well.)

gellen - or people like former Prime Minister, Turdo!
