Poulbot is the interpreter of French childhood, and in that capacity his pencil, before August 1914, had given infinite pleasure. But pleasure ceased to be a very important pre-occupation in August, 1914, and even Poulbot's sympathetic pencil lent itself to horror as easily as to mirth.
This drawing appeared in l'Anti-Boche, of Paris.
"Don't be frightened, kill her—I've got hold of her," runs the legend.
—N'aie pas peur, tue-la, j'la tiens.
