Creator(s): McCay, Winsor, artist
Date Created/Published: [between 1930 and 1934]
Summary: Cartoon shows Uncle Sam comforting a shabbily-dressed man (labeled 'American Business') and pointing to a large sign reading 'Dr. Common-Sense's Great Cure,' featuring a medicine bottle labeled 'Courage and Energy.' Drawn during the Great Depression, the cartoonist suggests that business woes reflect a failure of will. McCay is most famous for his comic strip Little Nemo, published from 1905 until 1914, but in later years he was an accomplished editorial cartoonist.
