Do you post the comics on the date that they were originally published? I just ask because a May 6, 1917 publishing date is about a month after the US declared war on Germany and formally entered WW1. And also a week and a half before Congress would pass the Selective Service act authorizing the draft. So I wonder if this was just spontaneous or as a part of a formal propaganda effort (either overtly public or somewhat more discrete)Report
I suspect just spontaneous. In the 20 years before 1917 there was the Spanish-American War, the Philippine-American War, the Mexican Border War, assorted military occupations in the Caribbean and Central America… Foreign “wars” with American troops were in the newspapers, the adults would have talked about it. Domestically, ~1905 was sort of a peak time when Civil War memorials honoring the Confederate side were being built.Report
