WHY NEWTS!?
Before What's-His-Name became the You-Know-What, anyone interested in newts knew and loved Karel Capek's book War with the Newts (which may have lapsed into the public domain; John Heidemann has an excerpt from it too).
Capek's book was the direct inspiration for my newt cartoons, which have
been published in various little magazines in both the States
and England. I had put together fifty of them in a manuscript
entitled 50 Newts for All Occasions but didn't get anywhere
marketing it. Happens.
