EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Gassing the Troops on Our Own Front Line" is a powerful American cartoon by Dr. Seuss (Theodor Geisel) that was published in the New York City newspaper, PM, on 26 March 1942. This thought-provoking artwork criticizes anti-labor attitudes during World War II and highlights their damaging impact on the American war effort at home. In this illustration, Dr. Seuss skillfully portrays an assembly line worker wearing a gas mask while being bombarded with toxic fumes labeled as "anti-labor propaganda". The image symbolizes how certain elements within society were poisoning the morale of workers who were crucial to supporting the war effort. By equating these harmful attitudes with chemical warfare, Dr. Seuss emphasizes their destructive nature.

This cartoon serves as a reminder of the importance of solidarity and fair treatment during times of conflict. It challenges viewers to question any actions or beliefs that may hinder progress or harm those working tirelessly for a common cause. Dr. Seuss' work continues to resonate today as it reminds us that even amidst global turmoil, we must remain vigilant in protecting our
