Political messages of Dr. Seuss : ウィキペディア英語版 | Political messages of Dr. Seuss
The political messages of Theodor Seuss Geisel, best known as Dr. Seuss, are found in many of his books. Geisel, a cartoonist and author for children, was also a liberal and a moralist who expressed his views in his books through the use of ridicule, satire, wordplay, nonsense words, and wild drawings to take aim at bullies, hypocrites, and demagogues. Geisel's political ideas can be found in books such as: ''The Lorax'', ''Marvin K. Mooney Will You Please Go Now!'', ''The Cat in the Hat'', ''Horton Hears a Who!'', ''Yertle the Turtle'', ''The Sneetches'', and ''The Butter Battle Book''. Geisel also had a career in making political cartoons.〔Dreier, Peter. "Dr. Seuss's Progressive Politics." Tikkun 26.4 (2011): 28-47. Academic Search Premier. Web. 27 Oct. 2012.〕 ==Political cartoons== Theodor Geisel drew over 400 cartoons for the New York newspaper ''PM''. This was during the two years that he was the chief editorial cartoonist (1941-1943). Many of these cartoons were directed towards the war, Adolf Hitler, and Japan. Over 200 of these cartoons have been republished, most of which hadn't been published anywhere since their original debut in ''PM.''〔UC San Diego Special Collections Library, http://libraries.ucsd.edu/speccoll/dswenttowar/#intro〕 In 1929, he illustrated a cartoon with racist elements for Judge magazine. The four-panel cartoon was entitled, "Cross-Section of The World's Most Prosperous Department Store," and in one of the panels, two White men are examining Black men with pitch black skin and big red lips, and there is a sign reading, "Take home a high grade nigge * for your woodpile! Satisfaction guaranteed." 〔 CNN, http://www.cnn.com/2015/05/28/living/feat-racist-dr-seuss-drawing/〕
