The War. Going Badly. Going Badly? Going Badly!

How on Earth did it come to this?

So says Norman Rockwell.

.... In July 1942, Norman Rockwell took the train [to] Washington to pitch his idea for the now-famous Four Freedoms paintings inspired by Roosevelt's 1941 State of the Union speech. But when Rockwell arrived, as he later wrote in his autobiography, "none of the government officials could help us. The war was going badly; nobody had time for posters"....

Oh. That war.

(Thanks, Mark.)
