PUNCH Mussolini

Cartoon from PUNCH magazine 15th July 1936. The school mistress 'Europa' chastises the schoolboy 'Mussolini' having thrown an ink squib at Abyssinia, with the 'sanctions' cane now set aside. Note the carved initials to the side of the teachers desk - A.H. (Adolf Hitler), NAP. B. (Napoleon Bonaparte), and B.M. (Benito Mussolini).


The caption reads

 

STILL DICTATING


"YOU CAN COME OUT NOW AND JOIN THE OTHERS; I'VE PUT THE CANE AWAY."


"SHAN'T, UNTIL YOU SAY I DIDN'T DO IT, AND GIVE ME MONEY TO BUY SWEETS."
