"DEGENERATE" CARTOONS
sir,-"A sense of humour ‘has always ‘been one of my pet aversions," wrote John Strachey. "But I have been afraid to say so, for fear that people would say that that was only natural in an economist and political theorist." I do not read the flip magazines, but I shall be surprised if they ‘have not started to publish cartoons on that climax of our civilisation, the dropping of an Atomic Bomb on the Bikini Atoll. It. is’ not accident that we have made a children’s fairy tale out of what many critics believe to be the most bitter satire’ éver written on humanity. Humour is. the opium of the people.
