EDITORS COMMENTS
In this humorous political cartoon from the February 20, 1906 issue of Puck magazine, two former presidents, Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft, engage in a friendly competition. The image captures a moment of camaraderie between the two men, who served as president and chief justice of the United States, respectively, at the time. Roosevelt, known for his robust physicality and adventurous spirit, boasts to Taft, "I can lick my weight in wildcats, CQD!" The acronym "CQD" was a naval signal used during this era to indicate "All Clear" or "All Quiet," suggesting that Roosevelt was confident in his ability to handle any challenge. Taft, with a smirk on his face, responds, "Oh, that's nothing; I can eat my weight in possums, PDQ!" The term "PDQ" stands for "Pretty Damned Quick," implying that Taft could consume a large quantity of possums in a short amount of time. The cartoon reflects the playful banter between the two men, who maintained a close friendship despite their political differences. The image also underscores the public's fascination with the personalities and quirks of the nation's leaders during this period. This cartoon, which dates back to 1906, is an intriguing glimpse into the political culture of the time and offers a lighthearted look at the lives of two influential American presidents.
