Dr. Seuss (Theodor Seuss Geisel, 1904-1991) was a life-long cartoonist: in high school in Springfield, Massachusetts; in college at Dartmouth (Class of 1925); as an adman in New York City before World War II; in his many children's books, beginning with To Think That I Saw it on Mulberry Street (1937). Because of the fame of his children's books (and because we often misunderstand these books) and because his political cartoons have remained largely unknown, we do not think of Dr. Seuss as a political cartoonist. But for two years, 1941-1943, he was the chief editorial cartoonist for the New York newspaper PM (1940-1948), and for that journal he drew over 400 editorial cartoons.

Title: ... and the wolf chewed up the children and spit out their bones... but those were foreign children and it really didn't matter.
Creator: Seuss, Dr.
Publisher: PM Magazine
Date: October 1, 1941
Notes:

Converted to black and white, cleaned up so that only the line art was present (1999)

Was Mannfred referring to WW2? Seems odd.....He's not a history teacher.

It's been popping up in facebook bubbles, Fafa.  At least, I think that's where I saw it recently.

Honestly, I was wondering if someone doctored it up to reflect the present, but "America First" could've easily been a wide-spread motto two months before Pearl Harbor.  Interesting, really.

it's real

This "America First" stuff is unacceptable..

everybody and every country deserves to be first

if everyone is first..who is second?

America First was the common refrain led by Charles Lindbergh and the anti US involvement in World War 2.  'America First' was the rally cry of the antisemites who lamented that the Jew being killed weren't as important as the young American men who would die trying to end what Hitler was doing.  Obviously, once Pearl Harbor happened they became mostly irrelevant. Though the ideology did persist in some commercial circles, like with Henry Ford.  This cartoon was real and was a reaction to Lindbergh and the 'America First' bigots.  Geisel was a member of B'nai B'rith and several other Jewish organizations.  I took a 'Writing About Comics' class in College-we studied Geisel among other people and the expanding influence of political cartoons during the period between The Great Depression and WW2.

Never thought Dr.  Seuss was a racist. Interesting cartoon Ender. 

American first is common language   saying America fist in so way associates anyone with a political movement that happen to have the name.  That is just stupid
