Dr. Seuss, one of the greatest figures in literature for children’s books, was known despite common knowledge, as a political satirist as well.  Dr. Seuss saw the vast majority of the 20th century, and very importantly, he lived through some of the most prominent times in our history.  A milestone in the world’s timeline, was the second world war, which was a huge threat to the civility between the most powerful nations in the world at the time.  As many know, Nazi Germany was the outlying tyranny that arose many of the problems between many nations back in the nineteen thirties and forties.  To many, they were known as the aggressor.  The dominating power that oppressed the weak; in this case, the surrounding nations.  Dr. Seuss, an American, known as a famous poet to most, constructs a picture to satirize the power of Nazi Germany.  Within the political cartoon that Seuss presents, includes a background of a water mass and a tiny island in the middle of the water mass.  On the tiny island in the middle is a man with a shirt that reads, “the appeaser.”  Surrounding the tiny island and the man on it, are many serpent looking creatures with swastikas covering their bodies.  Above the general picture reads a line that says, “Remember . . . One More Lollypop, and Then You All Go Home!”  The underlying message in this political cartoon is about a common term known as “Appeasing the Aggressor.”  As we know from the text included, the man on the middle island is known as the appeaser, while one can infer the many monstrous looking creatures surrounding the man are the aggressors; which symbolize nazi germany.  The text at the top of the image can be interpreted as the words of the appeaser, offering up more appeasement in hopes to avoid conflict.  The figures that Seuss uses for his image, are more appealing for a children’s perspective, but hold a more sophisticated meaning.  In Dr. Seuss’s political Cartoon, “Appeasing the Aggressor,” he makes his argument about giving into an intensive and oppressive power for civility, by using simplistic visual appeals to create an easier connection between the viewer and the underlying message.
