Question - 337

Good morning! I am experimenting with the crossword-style of question difficulty. Questions will get harder from Monday to Saturday. If I get to it, Sunday will have a 'larger' set of visual clues for Wed-level of difficulty.


What was the result of this cartoon? (some words blanked out)
Answer: Teddy Roosevelt refused to shoot a captive bear on a hunting trip that prompted the cartoon above. The blanked out lines read "Drawing the line in Mississippi". An entrepreneur inspired by the cartoon came up with the idea of a "teddy" bear.

This is a cartoon parodying Teddy Roosevelt incident, where he refused to shoot a captive bear on a hunting trip.
