Friday Cartoon: That time Hitler was spotted in Dublin dressed as a woman!

An actual historical-ish cartoon this week. I’ve become an avid listener to the Irish History Podcast by Fin Dwyer. A recent cracking episode, The Mystery Nazi Flight to Ireland – Who was really on board?, had the following quote which to me is an absolute corker that should be taught in schools (maybe it is now, ’tis a long time since I failed Leaving Cert History!)

Soviet news agency TASS would also make claims that Hitler was in Ireland when it claimed he had been spotted in Dublin dressed as a woman in 1945.

I mean come on. Immediately the two neurons responsible for my cartoon ideas banged off each other like the pair of testicles Hitler didn’t have and I thought of a female-disguised Hitler trying to fit in among the Moore St. traders. Eagle-eyed readers might also recognise Maureen O’Hitler’s cart, while simultaneously being disappointed there’s no shiny décolletage on display. I’m sorry, there are some things I just won’t draw. Stay tuned for more cartoons by signing up for my emails!
