1914年8月战争爆发，英国艺术家的漫画大量涌现。人们毫无疑问地接受了战争是一个适合漫画的主题，漫画书和选集变得非常受欢迎，特别是在战争的最初几年，在纸张短缺之前。然而，人们很快就发现，英国漫画的讽刺社会评论传统，以及被幽默软化的政治漫画，需要在战时补充来自其他地方的图像。英国很少有左翼或反对派漫画家，也没有与法国、德国或俄罗斯的好斗漫画风格相媲美的漫画家。因此，老牌的英国漫画家发现很难科普不断变化的态度，这在很大程度上是通过从这个狭窄的群体之外招募艺术家来实现的。
The outbreak of war in August 1914 brought an outpouring of cartoons by British artists. It was accepted without question that the war was an appropriate subject for cartoons, and cartoon books and anthologies became very popular, especially in the early years of the war, before the advent of paper shortages. However, it rapidly became clear that the British cartoon tradition of ironic social comment, and political caricature softened by humour, needed supplementing in wartime with imagery drawn from elsewhere. There were few left-wing or oppositional cartoonists in Britain, and no equivalent to the combative styles of cartooning found in France, Germany, or Russia. As a result, established British cartoonists found it difficult to cope with changing attitudes, and this was largely achieved by recruiting artists from outside this narrow group.1
