Karl Kae Knecht Cartoon

Description: A man and a woman look at a map of the area in the South Pacific around the Solomon Islands. The man says that when he heard Solomon he thought they said salmon. The woman replies that it is Solomon like the Biblical king, but that she was confused when she heard Florida was attacked--until she found out one of the Solomon Islands is called Florida. Knechts elephant sits with his trunk resting on a globe.

To tell the truth--first thing I thought--was that the Japs were back in our SALMON fishing places where they used to spy as they fished! No, no--its Solomon, like King Solomon of the Wives and Temple--but when I read Florida Attacked I thought of ours--but one of the Solomon Isles is named Florida too! Philippines. Borneo. New Guinea. Australia. Solomon Islands. Marines in Solomon.
