Wartime Cartoon/Headscratchers

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • The placement of the mustache in cartoons where Hitler is represented by an anthropomorphic duck. Considering that a duck's beak is both it's mouth and it's nose, but the general location of a mustache is above the mouth but below the nose, this would probably be the most accurate, while the placement here just looks awkward (it looks more like the equivalent of the mustache being on the middle of his nose). Or is the second one more accurate, if you only consider the nostrils to be the "nose"? That being said... why does it seem Wartime Cartoons are the only place I've even seen facial hair on cartoon birds, which lead me to think about that subject?
    • The nostrils would correspond to the nose, I think. It looks okay in the second picture.
