Description

Newton Pratt (1901-1985) was the longtime editorial cartoonist for the Sacramento Bee, starting in 1937 and retiring in 1971. Pratt was a native of Sacramento, born to Irish immigrant parents. He dropped out of school at age 10 and began working, eventually becoming a draftsman for the state Division of Highways. At the Sacramento Bee, Pratt worked at a variety of jobs including messenger, office boy, and copy boy. Walter Jones, the head editor for the newspaper, eventually hired Pratt as the main editorial cartoonist. His work was reprinted by the New York Times and Washington Post, which brought Pratt national acclaim. In the 1950s, Pratt was one of the first editorial cartoonists to take on Senator Joe McCarthy’s anti-Communist hysteria. By the time Pratt retired in 1971, he had produced roughly 7500 cartoons.

This political cartoon, titled "The Advance Guard" was published on September 22, 1941, and shows the Nazi traits of Intolerance, Bigotry and Racial Hatred coming ashore. Powerful work by a fairly forgotten cartoonist.
