if they were cartoons it could. real "Cartoonmen" At the checkout at the walmart i picked up Hercules Against the Moonmen for a buck. Hey, I like your toons, keep it up. But it would be cool if we could fight the jihdists with toons like Herc and Popeye. With Merrymelodies handling the logistics of course. I must confess that I am really beginning to hate Islam...its so bloody boring and self absorbed...we should use the nuetron bomb and free the earth from these locusts. That or have Scoobydoo concoct a virgin trap that catches them all and then we put them on a bigbottlerocket and shoot them to the moon. just an idea.

Hmmm...

I am very much into cartoon/animation history, and you are absolutely right.

Now that you mention it, most of the best cartoons from the WWII era featured Bugs Bunny or Popeye giving the country a morale boost. Popeye battling Japanese caricatures, for example. A lot of great anti-Hitler/fascist cartoons from Looney Tunes.

Some of them were even special-made by Warner Bros. for entertaining/educating the troops. Dr. Seuss, when he worked at the Termite Terrace, drew a cartoon series called "Private Snafu" about a bumbling US soldier who was always getting into trouble. Until a few years ago, they were restricted cartoons (not for civilian viewing).
