| Description | Cartoon shows a group of monkeys in a zoo, commenting on what is going on in the so-called "Civilized World." The monkeys note that there is more concern for one child kidnapped at home than for 83 children killed by a submarine attack; that people use monkeys in experiments to conserve human life while elsewhere trying to destroy it; that people are more concerned about politics than the future of the country. One monkey concludes, "From what I saw, I'm perfectly satisfied to be a monkey in a cage." Berryman drew this cartoon contrasting the puerility of the 1940 presidential campaign with the stark issues facing the country as European nations engaged in all-out war, a conflict that threatened to spread elsewhere. |
