World War 1/World War 2 in Cartoons

Cartoon of Adolf Hitler shouting

Which World War 2 cartoonist wound up on Hitler’s ‘Death List’ and why?
Who changed the look of British cartoons with his World War 2 propaganda posters?
Who had the funniest moustache, Kaiser Wilhelm or Adolf Hitler?

All these questions and more will be answered when students examine some of the WW1 and WW2 cartoons in our collection. They will then learn how to draw their own cartoons and caricatures reflecting those troubled times in our history.
