We all know Dr. Seuss (Theodor Seuss Geisel) for his childrens books and the TV specials they spawned.
But most people don't know of his career as a political cartoonist during the 40s.
Quote:
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.

Now you know.
Quote:
The Dr. Seuss Collection in the Mandeville Special Collections Library at the University of California, San Diego, contains the original drawings and/or newspaper clippings of all of these cartoons.
