EDITORS COMMENTS
The iconic cartoon "Hurry Up With The Ark" by Dr. Seuss (Theodor Geisel) captures the essence of America's support for Great Britain and its colonies during World War II. Created for PM on 23 February 1942, this political satire reflects the urgency felt by Americans to aid their British allies in their struggle against Nazi Germany. In the cartoon, we see a flood engulfing an American city, with people desperately seeking refuge on top of buildings. Amidst the chaos, a determined figure representing America is depicted as Noah from Christian and Jewish traditions, building an ark labeled "British Empire". This symbolizes America's commitment to helping Great Britain and its colonies survive the war. Dr. Seuss cleverly uses his signature whimsical style to convey a serious message about international cooperation during wartime. By referencing Noah's ark, he emphasizes that unity is crucial in times of crisis. Furthermore, the inclusion of religious imagery highlights how supporting Great Britain aligns with American values rooted in Christianity and Judaism. This powerful image serves as a reminder that World War II was not just fought on battlefields but also through alliances and collective efforts across nations. It showcases Dr. Seuss' ability to blend artistry with political commentary while capturing the spirit of solidarity between America and its allied partners during one of history's most challenging periods.
