About the series
During the closing months of World War I, the U.S. government's Bureau of Publicity and War Loan Organization published a single-issue comic, The Cartoon Book (1918), distributed by the Treasury Department. This propaganda piece brought together leading editorial cartoonists of the era to promote the sale of war bonds, using humor and patriotic imagery to rally public financial support for the war effort. Though brief, it stands as a unique artifact of wartime media, blending cartooning with official government messaging.
