90 Years of Peace from the Peacemakers

There is something about history that repeats itself over and over. There is something about humankind that never learns the lesson of history.

The cartoon is from 1934, when the world was at peace … of course. The War to End All Wars, ended in 1918, and since then we have had a stretch of ninety-one years of Peace & Tranquility, brought to you by the peaceful Peace-lovers. God love ‘em. They still believe in their fairy tales.
