Description
Cy Hungerford Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Editorial Comics Panel Original Art (Post-Gazette, 1940s). Hungerford uses prizefighting as a metaphor for World War II in this indictment of America-first isolationism in the face of Axis aggression. President Franklin D. Roosevelt seems poised to wallop a brash challenger, whom Adolf Hitler encourages in vain. Hungerford's big-nose/big-foot cartooning style fits well with his fighting-mad stance as a political cartoonist. An editorial note (lower margin) designates the cartoon as a rush job for the following Thursday's bulldog edition of the Post-Gazette. The archaic term bulldog once referred to the earliest press run of an issue, back when newspapers were produced with care and urgent diligence. Ink over graphite on Bristol board. Image area, 12.25" x 16". Moderate toning, spot-staining/smudging, marginal tearing, and handling wear. Very Good condition.More information about Cy Hungerford.
