Description
Three months before Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor, and direct US involvement in World War II, military mobilization was impacting many walks of American life. Here, a satirical cover juxtaposes the scale of an ice cream man--and the simpler life he symbolized--to massive tanks and planes. A pair of eyes peeping out from the tank suggest that the soldier prefers those peaceful times, as well.
Stephen R. Ronay was a painter supported by the Federal Art Project during the 1930s, but he was equally adept at gently satirical cartoons like this and another one for the magazine eight months later.
