Fougasse sketch from the 'Careless Talk Costs Lives" campaign for the MOI, 1940
The enormously successful British propaganda campaign known as "Careless Talk Costs Lives" utilised these cartoon style posters developed by Fougasse aka Cyril Kenneth Bird who was a well-known commercial artist of the period. The various posters show differing situations and were designed to show how passing information might end up in the wrong hands. The posters were commissioned by the Ministry of Information and were deliberately intended to be humorous. This is one of the sketches that appeared as a vignette in the booklet the posters appeared in.
