1933. This cartoon is from The Nation in 1933, from a time when The Nation could still recognize (some) existential threats to liberty. No, it's not the most subtle work in the world, but that's not the point. The point is that there were those who saw what Hitler was, saw it early, and spoke out, and it still didn't stop him. Consider the effect that these cartoons might have had, and then consider the effect of not having them at all. And then go take another look at those Danish cartoons.

Different people saw different things at different times. But it's not like we weren't warned.

All the cartoons are from Zbynek Zeman's Heckling Hitler.
