The Squander Bug was a World War II propaganda character created by the British National Savings Committee to discourage "wasteful" spending and consumption, in order to free up capital and resources for the war effort. Originally designed by freelance illustrator Phillip Boydell for press advertisements, the character was widely used by other wartime artists in poster campaigns and political cartoons.
