EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a World War II poster from 1943, created by the U. S. Army to promote the proper use of equipment and supplies during this tumultuous time in history. The poster features an endearing cartoon character named Joe Dope, brought to life through a lithograph by the talented artist Will Eisner. In this thought-provoking image, we see Joe Dope, a mid-1940s American soldier, depicted as a man filled with regret and sorrow. With tears streaming down his face, he holds a bomb in one hand while clutching onto his pilot's helmet with the other. The powerful text "Don't be a dope!" serves as both a warning and an appeal for soldiers to exercise caution when handling their equipment. Eisner's artistic prowess is evident in every stroke of this lithograph; he expertly captures the emotions of fear and remorse that war can evoke within individuals. Through this striking visual representation, viewers are reminded of the importance of safety and responsibility on the battlefield. Granger Art on Demand has skillfully preserved this historical artifact for us to reflect upon today. This print not only offers us insight into wartime propaganda but also serves as a reminder of our duty to protect ourselves and others during times of conflict.
