Scope and Contents
Cartoons in this series discuss political figures, events, and controversies in a general manner. This collection does not contain many cartoons that comment on national politics. However, since D.C. is the seat of government, there was always plenty of political news in the city, so there are a number of drawings relating to the President and Congress generally. Most cartoons here deal with politics directly relating to the District government, such as ones commenting on the performance of the District commissioners, or the actions of Congressmen on the District committees.

Abstract
Caption: none Description: A hurt “D.C.” lies in the street, cradled by Randolph and Overton, after apparently being hit by a truck labeled “Defense Program,” which lumbers away. FDR appears on the scene with an ambulance, and “D.C.” says, “You’re just in time, Doctor.”
