| Description | Cartoon shows Hitler and Mussolini treed by a snorting bull labeled "European Democracies." A sign reads "No Trespassing." Ferdinand was the famous bull (in the children's book by Munro Leaf and Robert Lawson) who refused to fight, preferring to smell the flowers. The cartoon may refer to the "May Scare" of 1938, when it appeared that Hitler had been blocked in his plan to invade Czechoslovakia by the united opposition of France and Britain. Britain and France backed down a few months later during the Munich Crisis. |
