I’m one of many fans of Chirol’s series modifying Dr. Seuss’ WWII cartoons. But let’s not forget that there are plenty of cartoons from 60 years ago that will not be making their way into the 21st century GWOT version.

(Granted, this was pretty tame stuff considering the times.)

The posters ask, what have I done today?
“What haven’t I done?” is what I say!
Criticize the president? No way!
Speak out against war? Oy vay!
Bemoan loss of liberty? Not today!
I haven’t done so much today
(Maybe then the threat will go away.)
