Vindication

Whenever I see a Sherwin-Williams truck, I am reminded of a cartoon from the 30's I once saw of Hitler painting the world red. I used to read tons of World War II books (I still do, actually), and that cartoon always stuck with me. Virtually every bit of human knowledge is on the internet, but I could not find that cartoon.

Last weekend, I was at home visiting my parents, and I stumbled upon my old "Complete WWII Encyclopedia" set. I was convinced that it was in that set of books where I saw the Hitler cartoon. I thumbed through volumes I and II, and towards the end of volume II, there it was, in all its red-hued glory.

You can see why this cartoon had such a powerful effect on me. The muted shades, except for one brilliant red splotch of blood. So now, you see, that cartoon does exist. There it is.

I wonder if Sherwin-Williams knows about this?
