Dr. Seuss Went to War

Before his series of successful children's books as Dr. Seuss brought him prominence, Theodor Geisel had been a lifelong cartoonist. During the World War II years, 1941-43, he drew editorial cartoons for "PM," a New York City newspaper. In fact, he published more than 400 panels based on the current events of the day.

"The Dr. Seuss Collection in the Mandeville Special Collections Library at the University of California, San Diego, contains the original drawings and/or newspaper clippings of all of these cartoons," explains the online gallery. "This website makes these cartoons available to all internet users. The cartoons have been scanned from the original newspaper clippings in the UCSD collection."
