Grin and Bear It was created by sports cartoonist George Lichtenstein in 1932. In the more than 60 years since its debut, Grin and Bear It has successfully satirized all aspects of "the establishment" with targets such as military intelligence, the greed of big business, and the never-ending stream of political red tape.

When it's not going after bigger fish, Grin and Bear It also deflates the ordinary inconsistencies and absurdities of American morals and everyday life.
