I actually understand one of your references without needing google for once! 😀
Wait, how do you make references to real world figures like Joseph McCarthy or Sigmund Freud in a world of Anthropomorphic Animals? Due these guys exist in this world as animals too?
From what I can tell after reading it all the way through, yes.
But there was once a picture of Einstein on Stephan’s wall and he was human…
Why does it matter? Just enjoy it!
Walt ( Pogo ) Kelly loved to draw political figures as anthropomorphic animals.
His most famous creation was a wildcat named J. Simple Malarkey ( You can guess who he was based on. )
My personal fave was his caricature of Spiro Agnew.
Little historical inaccuracy, HUAC and McCarthy had nothing to do with one and other. Not to mention, McCarthy only pointed fingers he never actually really brought anyone to trial (and the one time he did, he failed completely!)
Also…I would just like to point out, one, McCarthy never went after regular joes, he went after members of the state department, and two…many of his accusations later turned out to be true.
He also went after people in the entertainment industry. He probably would have eventually moved on to regular joes.
Pretty sure that was the House Un-American Activities Committee, which was in the House, not the Senate. Joe kept his eye on government workers.
Regular Joes? Probably not. Besides, look at all the bad things people in the entertainment industry DID get away with for many years, such as Harvey Weinstein and Bill Cosby.
BTW, I read a book about Elia Kazan and the reason he testified against his former friends was not because he was a super patriot, but because he had a lifelong fear of poverty even when he was wealthy, and he wanted to save his career. But he never regretted what he had done.
We are not so different. Satanist child abuse (and even sacrifice) was the thing a couple decades ago.
Not widely considered to be a good thing, but I don’t doubt that it was a thing.
Merely rumors of it, just as there were rumors of recordings of songs such as “Stairway To Heaven” supposedly containing Satanic messages if you played them backwards decades ago,
Now, however, there is a hysteria over clowns being evil to children, which is probably why MacDonald’s had to withdraw the Ronald MacDonald character.
Wow…that’s kind of dark. Llewelyn was accused of Communism? They must have been drunk
