EDITORS COMMENTS
In the depths of the ocean, during the tumultuous year of 1918, the god Neptune welcomed two newcomers to his underwater kingdom. Alceste, a valiant French soldier, and Truth, the embodiment of honesty, were introduced to the enchanting yet dangerous inhabitants of the sea. Amidst the backdrop of the First Great War, this scene unfolds as Neptune, the Roman god of the sea, graciously presents Alceste and Truth to the alluring sirens. The sirens, with their mesmerizing voices and irresistible beauty, were known to lure sailors to their watery demise. However, in this instance, Neptune had other plans. The German submariners, symbols of the ongoing war at the surface, are depicted as hapless fish out of water, pursued relentlessly by the sirens. Alceste, with his unwavering courage, and Truth, with her unyielding honesty, stand between the submariners and the sirens, shielding them from the deadly allure of the sea creatures. Neptune's trident, the symbol of his power, hovers above the scene, a reminder of the god's dominion over the sea. The vibrant colors of the underwater world, teeming with various fish and marine life, add to the richness and depth of this image. This evocative cartoon, a testament to the power of truth and courage, serves as a poignant reminder of the complexities and contradictions of war, even in the most unexpected of places.
