CITATIONS
I In the interests of brevity and clarity, source citations for cartoonists and cartoons that are identified in captions, and periodical titles and dates that clearly appear in the illustration, are not here referenced. Cartoons will be identified by publication-source and year, as well as month and day if possible. Some cartoons have been reprinted from anthologies, magazine compilations, and reprint books of their time, and therefore a precise date cannot always be affixed. Likewise, many of the illustrations are from vintage scrapbooks or collections of clippings; in those cases, the author has ascertained the closest date by context of subject matter and the cartoonist's style. Images absent from the citations were judged to be self-explanatory as to source. For cartoons from compilations where no page numbers are assigned, “n.p.” is used. Book titles are abbreviated; readers may refer to the Bibliography for complete data.
All the cartoons in BULLY! are from the collection of Rick Marschall, with the exception of the cartoons that filled important gaps in the narrative, or upgraded images of poor quality in the author's collection: Page 293, John Olsen: and pages 33, 43, 133, 144, 174, 255 (right), and 312, courtesy Richard Samuel West / Periodyssey. Thanks to Rich West, noted cartoon historian, and Kayt Thompson for all courtesies.

CARTOONS:
Page 31: Original art by Arthur Burdett Frost, June 15, 1875. This is the drawing style Frost used in the wildly popular Out of the Hurly-Burly, a book written by Max Adeler, the cartoonist's first major success. For half a century Frost was to dominate several tracks: serious magazine illustration in the Graphic, Harper's Weekly, and Collier's; cartoons for the Graphic, Harper's Weekly, Scribner's, and Life; sporting prints and rural scenes for portfolios and advertising; and book illustration—a hundred books, by Lewis Carroll, Frank Stockton, Joel Chandler Harris (Uncle Remus), H. C. Bunner, Mark Twain, Will Carleton, et al., and his own popular Stuff and Nonsense and The Bull Calf. Author's collection. Page 34: August 30, 1896. Keppler often based cartoons on European legends, and (German) music, especially operas—here the Romantic Erl King of Goethe (and Schubert's memorable piano piece). Page 36: January 29, 1879.

Page 29: “I shall always live my life as he would want…”: TR also wrote after his father's death, “I can conscientiously say that I have done nothing of which I do not think father would approve if he were alive” (Wagenknecht, 165); “He met John…”: Robinson, 6. “I feel that…”: Dalton, 68.
CHAPTER 3
CARTOONS:
Page 43: This cartoon likely is the first to mention Theodore Roosevelt, and possibly the first to depict him. The ambiguity derives from cartoonist Worth's reference to Roosevelt's legislative bill without labeling the Assemblyman…or caricaturing him well. It is the author's opinion that the mustachioed face outside the prison courtyard is supposed to be Roosevelt. Pages 46 and 47: Thomas Nast in Harper's Weekly, April 19, 1884 and May 10, 1884, respectively, are often thought to be the first national cartoons depicting Theodore Roosevelt. The “whipping-post” cartoon in Judge notwithstanding, the cartoons in Puck of February 20 and March 26 [see Page 56] predate Nast's cartoons. Page 52: reprinted in a New York World story about influential American political cartoons, March 21, 1897. Page 54: April 13, 1881. Page 55: Joseph Keppler in Puck, 1881.

Here's Purity and Magnetism for You—can—t be beat!” Page 60: November 5, 1884.

Page 40: “briefly clerking in…”: Dalton, 78. Page 41: “…emulating his father's charitable visits around the city”: Putnam chronicles more fully than any other biographer the bond between father and son, and the deep Christian commitment of each. Thee's charity rounds, Teedie's accompaniment, and TR's ultimate inability to emulate one-on-one missions work: Putnam, supra. “Nothing but my faith in the Lord Jesus Christ could have carried me through this, my terrible time of trouble and sorrow,” TR wrote months after his father's death. Putnam, 151. Page 44: “…derisively pictured as applauding…”: David McCollough, Mornings on Horseback (hereinafter McCollough), 256; “If you try anything like that, I—ll kick you…”: Putnam, 252; “When another assemblyman made fun…”: Putnam, 274.

Page 49: “Alice is dying…”: There are (slightly) conflicting accounts of how many telegrams were sent to TR in Albany, and which of TR's siblings met him at the door. Confusion in such inconsequentials is understandable. This doorway “greeting” is the family version that has prevailed. “The light has gone out of my life”: TR's Private Diary, image at http://lcweb2.loc.gov/ammem/trhtml/trdiary3.html.

Page 102: Charles Jay Taylor in Puck, July 24, 1895. Taylor drew political cartoons for Harper's Weekly, briefly, and for Puck for fifteen years beginning in 1886; but his considerable contributions were in the field of short-story illustration (of Bunner's work, principally) and creating a rival to the glamorous Gibson Girl, the “Taylor-Made Girl.” Page 103: August 8, 1896.

Page 120: “You provide the pictures, I—ll provide the war”: James Creelman, On the Great Highway, 178. The exchange, a legend of American journalism, has never been substantiated by documentation, and frequently has been challenged. Its endurance is due in part to its colorful audacity in a conflict, and a field replete with such tales; but also it accurately reflects Remington's disappointment over fly-infested misery, and little revolutionary romance, in pre-war Cuba, and Hearst's bellicose self-assurance.

CHAPTER 8
CARTOONS:
Page 174: Joseph Keppler in Puck, January 28, 1903—President Roosevelt extending support to Black America, at the feet of Lincoln. One of President Roosevelt's first acts in office was to invite Booker T. Washington to dine at the White House. Southern states were outraged, but TR wanted to signal his lack of prejudice, his openness to Americans of all backgrounds, and—mostly—his desire to consult with a broad spectrum of citizens. He continued to discuss federal appointments with Washington throughout his presidency. Page 177: James Montgomery Flagg in Life, February 23, 1905. Page 182: John T. McCutcheon, TR in Cartoon (hereinafter McCutcheon Cartoons). n.p. Page 183: W. H. Walker in Life, May 4, 1905. Page 189: The original cartoon that started a tradition. This Clifford Berryman cartoon was a vignette in a larger group of commentary-cartoons. When it became famous, Berryman re-drew it several times, altering the bear's size and anxiety…but not its charm. Berryman was a fixture in the nation's capital and among cartoonists and politicians for a generation. Page 195: clipping from Judge, ca. 1914. Page 198: George Rehse, St. Paul Pioneer Press, ca. 1907. Page 201, starting upper left: covers from April, May, June, and February 1905. Kemble, known primarily as a comic illustrator and delineator of blacks, mostly was a cartoonist of chameleon-like sympathies, depending on his publisher (Art Young once caricatured him as a prostitute in a bordello). But his muckraking cartoons for Collier's were as forceful as any cartoons he, or any other American cartoonist, ever drew. Page 208: Keppler in Puck, July 7, 1906. The title is “Vacation.” Page 213: T. S. Sullivant in New York American. Reproduced from the original drawing in Author's Collection. Page 217: McCutcheon Cartoons, n.p.

Flohri painted the lush watercolor backgrounds for some of Disney's impressive first Silly Symphonies shorts. Page 232: Puck cover, June 1, 1904. Pages 232–33: Eugene Zimmerman (Zim) in Judge, 1904.

Page 240: July 29, 1903. Page 241: November 16, 1904. In the light of TR's subsequent Nobel Peace Prize, it is interesting to note cartoonist Hamilton's skepticism of TR's pacific capacities; the title of this back-page Puck cartoon is “Too Good To Be True.” Page 242: July 2, 1906.

TEXT:
Page 282: “…expected every lion to do his duty”: TR, amused or not, quoted senators who wished him ill, cordially or not. A front-page story in the Adams County Union-Republican (Iowa) cites a Washington dispatch from the Atlanta Constitution: President Roosevelt is quoted as asserting that Wall Street hates him. “When I go to Africa,” said the president in talking to a party of Georgians who called on him, “Wall Street expects every lion to do his duty. Wall Street hates me with fervid sincerity, not because of any general denunciation of railroads and corporations, but because I have done things” (December 16, 1908).
