Cursed by His Ancestors “Stupid blunderer! Foolish pupil!” Among neutral cartoonists of the War, the most noted after Raemarkers has been the Spanish artist Robida. This is perhaps his most striking cartoon. His designs are like those of the Russians, straight-forward, obvious and unaided by suggestion. From a gas-filled and malodorous heaven Frederick the Great looks down in fury, and Bismarck, now become a winged cherub, glares in disgust. Both curse the blunderer who is ruining their work by stupidly misapplying their crafty falsehoods. While henry II raises the crown of world empire to his own head, his son plays frivolously with the world, balancing it on a finger, and Bulgarian, Turkish, and Austrian leaders smile ingratiatingly above the flames and ruin they have caused. But the World’s bayonets are coming. Bismarck and Frederick see them, though the others do not.
