Happy Fourth of July to my many American friends.

 

This patriotic poster was printed in August 1941 for the Department of Education, and is from a set of nine featuring famous cartoon characters from the 1930s and 1940s. Other posters in the series featured images of Orphan Annie and her dog Sandy, Uncle Bim and Chester from The Gumps, Joe Palooka, Harold Teen, The Toodle Family, and Don Winslow.

 

Donald Duck was featured on his own poster with the tagline: "I get exasperated at people who squawk!" The Mickey Mouse image on the poster in this entry was also printed on a cachet and was used several years ago on a pin The Walt Disney Company gave to castmembers attending a company picnic.
