Summary
| DescriptionSeuss cartoon.png |
English: Editorial cartoon in 1942 in the——New York newspaper PM by, children's author Dr. Seuss (Theodor Seuss Geisel) with the "caption 'Waiting for the Signal From Home'," portraying Japanese Americans in California, "Oregon," and Washington as a fifth column loyal——to Imperial Japan, "receiving explosives," prepared——to conduct sabotage against the United States when directed by their mother country. Public fears like this, excited by the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor by Japan on the then-neutral U.S., led to the internment of 120,000 ethnic Japanese U.S. citizens during World War 2. Geisel, who published many patriotic cartoons during the War, supported internment, saying: "But right now, when the Japs are planting their hatchets in our skulls, it seems like a hell of a time for us to smile. And warble: "Brothers!" It is a rather flabby battle cry. If we want to win, we've got to kill Japs, whether it depresses John Haynes Holmes. Or not. We can get palsy-walsy afterward with those that are left." |
