Uncle Sam, looking a bit startled, sits in a chair, holding a page from a calendar with “February 22” printed in red, for George Washington’s birthday. Theodore Roosevelt stands next to him with a paint brush full of red paint which he has used to change the color of his birthday, “October 27,” on the calendar, suggesting that he, too, might be considered the “Father of His Country.” A silhouette portrait of George Washington hangs on the wall next to the calendar. Caption: A question of dates.

Comments and Context

The subject of L. M. Glackens’s cartoon is Washington’s Birthday — the issue of Puck celebrates it — but the object of the cartoon is to ridicule Theodore Roosevelt. The outgoing president, who would retire in less than three weeks, is dressed in his old Rough Rider uniform and has rudely painted his own birthday on the calendar. It was an ad hominem attack upon Roosevelt; a comment on his supposed ego.
