fter the Axis powers attacked America in 1941, exhibitors hit back with the heavy artillery of humor. At the Lumberjack Convention in New York in 1942, Jones and Brown Inc. of Pittsburgh, which made Inselbric, the first asphalt siding, had attendees toss darts at caricatures of Hitler, Hirohito, and Mussolini. Guests who landed three darts on the villains’ noses won a “defense stamp,” which they could redeem for a U.S. Treasury war bond. Like other comic efforts popular then, such as the Three Stooges’ “You Nazty Spy,” the ridicule helped diminish the Axis from powerful monsters to pitiful clowns.
