David Low was the foremost political cartoonist of World War II with a very similar drawing style.

In this morning's Boston Globe (of all places) an obituary for Boris Yefimov, a famous Soviet political cartoonist whom I had never ever heard of, dead at 109. You can read the entire obituary at the Globe link, above.
