Karl Kae Knecht Cartoon

Description: In the top of the cartoon, a man kicks a March lion in the rear while the lion roars more snow. An Easter bunny asks the Sun to hurry up, since the eggs need to dry by Sunday. In the middle, the Senate has passed a pay raise for U.S. service men, and the House says theyll act on it when they get back in a few weeks. In the bottom left there is a poster about tire allotment. In the bottom right, Hitler and Hirohito have a kick me and me too pined on their backs.
Hirohito, Emperor of Japan, 1901-1989; Hitler, Adolf, 1889-1945; Easter Bunny
