Jack Horner’s adventures with his pie have frequently been referenced in humorous and political cartoons on three continents. In an 1862 issue of "Punch", Abraham Lincoln pulls the captured New Orleans out of his pie. And in the following century a copy of the "Tacoma Times" pictured a Japanese Jack pulling a battleship from the Russian pie during the Russo-Japanese war. In other contexts the rhyme was applied to Australian politics in the "Melbourne Punch"; to a Canadian railway scandal; to income tax relief in Ireland; and to David Lloyd George’s use of his party political fund.
