| Description | World War II cartoon shows Uncle Sam carrying a cane labeled "War Effort," picking his way through a field filled with snakes labeled "Duplicate Effort," "Comforts as Usual," "Rumor Mongers," "Defeatism," "Selfishness," "Government Extravagance," and "Politics as Usual." The cartoonist's signature bear says, "If we don't watch out, Uncle, the snakes will drive US out." According to legend, St. Patrick was responsible for ridding Ireland of snakes by driving them into the sea. Berryman comments on problems in the home front that he believes are damaging the war effort. |
