Editing David Low (cartoonist) (section)

===Move to England===
From 1919 to 1927 Low worked at the London ''Star'', which sympathised with his moderately left-wing views. In 1927, he accepted an invitation from [[Max Aitken]] to join the conservative ''[[Evening Standard]]'' on the strict understanding that there would be no editorial interference with his output. In 1928 he showed his support for newly enfranchised women with his character, Joan Bull. The character appeared for a few years but fell out of regular use as the public concerns about women getting the vote disappeared.<ref>{{cite encyclopedia |encyclopedia=The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography |date=2004-09-23 |url=http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/75335 |title=Joan Bull |pages=ref:odnb/75335 |editor-last=Matthew |editor-first=H.

He also worked with Horace Thorogood to produce illustrated whimsical articles on the London scene, under the byline "Low & Terry".

[[John Gunther]] called Low "the greatest caricaturist in the world".<ref name="gunther1940">{{cite book | url=https://archive.org/stream/in.ernet.dli.2015.149663/2015.149663.Inside-Europe#page/n311/mode/2up | title=Inside Europe | publisher=Harper & Brothers | author=Gunther, John | author-link=John Gunther | location=New York | year=1940 | page=289}}</ref> In 1937, [[Nazism|Nazi]] Propaganda Minister [[Joseph Goebbels]] told British [[Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs|Foreign Secretary]] [[Edward Wood, 1st Earl of Halifax|Lord Halifax]] that British [[political cartoons]], particularly those of Low's, were damaging [[Anglo-German relations]]. In 1937 Low had produced an occasional strip about "Hit and Muss" (Hitler and Mussolini), but after Germany made official complaints he substituted a composite dictator, "Muzzler".<ref>[http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/34606?docPos=3 Oxford Dictionary of National Biography]</ref> After the war, Low is said to have found his name in ''[[The Black Book (list)|The Black Book]]'', the list of those the Nazis planned to arrest in the aftermath of an [[Operation Sea Lion|invasion of Great Britain]].<ref>[http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/bbcworldwide/worldwidestories/pressreleases/2002/04_april/low_exhibition.shtml Exhibition celebrates the 20th Century's greatest cartoonist], BBC Worldwide Press Releases.
