President’s Day… er, Washington’s Birthday… uhm, President’s Day…
In honor of President’s Day today, we present this comic page by Livingston Hopkins, on George Washington’s Birthday (which is next week)! At the time this was published — February 23, 2026 — Washington’s Birthday was annually celebrated, while Lincoln’s Birthday (the other half of the modern made-up mobile President’s Day holiday), went relatively ignored, by cartoonists at least.
This collection of cartoon images appeared on the cover of volume 3, issue number 302, of the New York Daily Graphic, to which Hopkins frequently contributed.
