Justin Murray. Winston Churchill (Befriendus Leaselendus), ca.1945
In this caricature, Churchill, with cigar, is shown as a puffin, "Perpetually carrying a stump in its mouth." A reference to recent defeats by British forces in Greece implies that it was drawn in 1941, when Churchill's attempt to stop the Nazis from overrunning that nation met with disaster. Other references are to Churchill's beloved British Empire--"Range: The sun never sets,--as we all jolly well know."--and to the recently passed Lend-Lease Act, which provided American assistance to the United Kingdom.
