Many people know Dr. Seuss as their favorite children's book author and illustrator. However, many people do not know that he has also made over 400 political cartoons. Dr. Seuss wanted to express his thoughts and feelings about what was happening in our world. He did this by writing his political cartoons. Even your favorite children's book by Dr. Seuss may have a meaning about World War II behind it. In this website we hope you find that Dr. Seuss isn't only a great children's book author and illustrator but, he is also a well minded political person.
This cartoon is about how Nazis and Japan allied together and were trying to go behind our backs and abolish us. So the part where they say you were supposed to push him over my back is really meaning how the United States thought we were good but then Japan knocked us down.
