All American Squad 1937

Description

Wow. I want to be on President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s team! Here FDR is shown alongside other major political players of the year 1937 as a football team. This cartoon gives a comical look at the politicians of the time while depicting them as a cohesive unit. Others included in this cartoon are the likes of Joe Kennedy of Massachusetts and Charlie McCarthy of California. What makes this cartoon truly unique was the inclusion of the American citizen as a member of this all-star team.
