LOL! love it! "We accept it" "We reject it" "You're an elephant" "You're an ass" I wonder if this toon takes a pro or con New Deal point of view? LOL The umbrella over New York was a nice touch.

I would tend to think this is definitely pro Roosevelt, pro new deal.

Scares you? Not if you know your history! Betty morphs into Al Smith, the Governor of New York, a Catholic who spoke with a nasal, New York twang. He worked his way up from the docks of NYC. He was resented by the rest of the nation and lost the 1928 presidential election by a landslide as large areas in the South would not vote a Catholic. The cartoon lampoons politics but is a tribute to both the New Deal's and Al Smith's inclusive politics.

An independent boop pokes fun at the monopolized 2 party system. Please don't be so critical on Ms. Boop. Conspiracy theorists abound with hate filled inuendo associated with our little nymph. What's up with that?

Keep in mind that during the year this film was released (1932), our country's economy was in disarray, and hundreds of banks closed. Employment was at an all-time low, and President Herbert Hoover seemed oblivious to the fact that the U.S. was in THAT much of a financial hole....this is definitely a "pro-Roosevelt" film; "Happy Days Are Here Again", the theme song of F.D.R.'s campaign and the Democratic party, is heard at 3:38.

The glass of beer seen at the end seems to indicate that not only was there a reason to celebrate a brighter future, it also indicated that "Prohibition" {the legal ban on all alcoholic beverages, enacted in 1920} was coming to a close- Roosevelt was a "wet" candidiate, and his Congress repealed the Constitutional "Prohibition amendment" in December 1933.
