EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the harsh realities of war, a touch of humor found its way into the deserts of North Africa during World War II. In this light-hearted illustration from circa 1942, a desert lion expresses his frustration and annoyance as he paws at a line of military tanks, exasperated that his once plentiful prey has been replaced by canned meat. The lion's expression of disappointment and the clever analogy between his situation and that of the soldiers, who were also reliant on canned rations, adds a humorous and relatable element to the otherwise grim circumstances of war. The image serves as a reminder that even in the most challenging of times, a sense of humor can provide a moment of levity and connection. This delightful piece of WWII humor is a testament to the human spirit and the ability to find joy in the unexpected.
