Atlanta Constitution , August 8, This one is fairly well-known — it makes quite a lot of light out of killing a lot of Japanese.

Again, exhaultation and exuberance. The Chicago Tribune produced quite a number of these cartoons, and theirs were often pretty explicitly racist. To consider the bombs in need of justification of this sort, even at this early stage, is a nice sign of the aforementioned ambivalence.

Another from the Chicago Tribune, this one more explicitly ambivalent about what the bomb means for the future. Gotta love the depiction of the long-haired scientist …. Hoo-boy — a lot of cultural baggage here! The only cartoon I found which makes any reference to the Soviet invasion of Manchuria, which begun on August 9 the same day as Nagasaki. Another science-themed cartoon from the same artist as the earlier one , but this time a lot less ambivalent.

Note this is the first one with any kind of mushroom cloud, as well. On August 12, the New York Times print three comics on the subject of the bomb, at least two of which were originally printed elsewhere. The first is mostly positive — the atom will end war. The second is far ambivalent — humanity is but an infant preparing to play with life and death. And the third is, in my reading anyway, hard to parse. Is the new era a good thing? A bad thing? A very awkward metaphor?

This one is just… very odd. I guess it is supposed to be the Japanese Army using Hirohito as its face-saving surrender, because of the bomb? Not exactly a well-executed message in my view. But check out that dove with an atom bomb strapped to it:. One thing to note with both this and the most recent comic is their confidence that the war would be ending soon.

This was still a few days before the Japanese capitulation — which was not entirely expected. Another justifying cartoon from the Chicago Tribune. I think the cartoon unintentionally makes them look like the underdogs. The next one sums up the message of quite a few of them:. Atlanta Constitution , August 20, One could make the argument that this connection between pesticides and WMDs is non-coincidental the connection between chemical warfare and pesticides is pretty clear-cut , but what I find striking about this particular cartoon is the fact that in many ways it is deeper than it intended to be.

Just like the atomic bomb, DDT was initially celebrated by many most? This entry was posted on Friday, June 29th, at am and is filed under Visions.

When compared with some of the hacks above, his intellectual and visual subtlety was quite superior.
