Was thinking about the power of the Cartoonist in War and the impact cartoons had both in bring the effects of war home to the populace and depicting the life of the soldier at the front, the latter depicted by Carl Giles in UK and Bill Maudlin in the USA. On a more political level Low made some telling statements in his political wartime cartoons. Here's a few to start the thread.
By coincidence I have recently been looking online for examples of cartoons by 'Emmwood', he once of the Daily Mail. Sudonymn for Major Jon Musgrave-Wood and Chindit veteran of both campaigns. My interest is keen because he was the last officer to see my Grandfather as a free man before his capture in 1943. Musgrave-Wood also gave witness statements to that effect in the lengthy debriefs after operation 'Longcloth'. There is a good website online featuring the 'Emmwood' back catalogue, sadly I am at work at the moment and cannot access my saved archive in order to post the address.
I think he did a book called 'Jungle Jungle Little Chindit' if memory serves me well Hi Steven, Yes, he co-wrote the book. It is quite funny in parts, but perhaps you just had to be there!
Steven, Here is the link to the Cartoon website, not sure if will contain WW2 examples, but you never know. Welcome to the British Cartoon Archive - The British Cartoon Archive - University of Kent

They really show the black humour of those involved in this work - Here are just a few examples -
