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.)
About Curzon
Lord George Nathaniel Curzon (1859 - 1925) entered the British House of Commons as a Conservative MP in 1886, where he served as undersecretary of India and Foreign Affairs. He was appointed Viceroy of India at the turn of the 20th century where he delineated the North West Frontier Province,
ordered a military expedition to Tibet, and unsuccessfully tried to partition the province of Bengal during his six-year tenure. Curzon served as Leader of the House of Lords in Prime Minister Lloyd George's War Cabinet and became Foreign Secretary in January 1919, where his most famous act was
the drawing of the Curzon Line between a new Polish state and Russia. His publications include
Russia in Central Asia (1889) and
Persia and the Persian Question (1892).
In real life, "Curzon" is a US citizen from the East Coast who has been a financial analyst, freelance translator, and university professor; he is currently on assignment in Tokyo.
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.)
