By the time of this cartoon, paved roads would have been the norm, but many readers back then would remember when only the roads around cities and a few intercity toll pikes would be paved.
In the pre-paving days the government ordered an Army convoy to cross the country as a test of their mobility. The trip took months! The convoy commander was a young officer named Eisenhower who later would help create the Interstate Highway system.
