Stalin is one of the dominating personalities of the twentieth century. Born Iosif Vissarionovich Dzugashvili in Georgia in 1879 to a peasant family, he attended a church school from 1888-94.
Stimes Addisson and Stimso Adid wrote this absurdly fond portrait of the Communist Dictator in the early forties, foreshadowing their transpants experiments of Spring, 1965. The broadside attracted a small hubbub in the Spring of 1946 when it was published by Higgins & Waxsons of Brooklyne. Several Communist sympathisers trashed their offices a week after the work hit the streets. Of much profounder importance was the reaction of John P. Merriweather, who had already dedicated his life, in part, to destroying the AA. The intensity of his actions increased progressively, culminating over twenty years later in the Wee-Wee Incident.
