Storyline from IMDB: The Pilgrims land at Plymouth Rock and found a colony. A very large number of Pilgrims can be seen standing in line... for their cigarette rations. A Pilgrim goes hunting for Thanksgiving dinner. He meets a black market turkey, one who sounds like Jimmy Durante. The turkey sells himself to the Pilgrim, but a chase ensues... The turkey can deflect machine gun bullets... when dressed as Superman. The two declare a truce and decide to eat together at Joe's Diner.
I sometimes wonder if Better Boop's extra short dress in the 1930' was to take the focus away from her extra-large head? Think about it... what do the following costumes have to do with Halloween? Sexy Halloween Costumes - Kristen Schaal unveils her line of sexy Halloween costumes for both men and women: The Daily Show Background: Cool Cat Cartoon: 1950's Jokes About Native American Stereotypes What It's Like Living In The South - Southern Fried Rabbit Then Native Americans Get The Military Thumbs Up: Roger Ramjet... (Was Roger Ramjet An Air Force Promotional Cartoon? Loved these cartoons as a kid, btw) Roger Ramjet enters cowboy country and gets caught and they become convinced he's a martian (very similar to present times, I have to say. Then they are attacked by wild Injuns that don't know there aren't supposed to be any wild Injuns (Wild West Proverb: A good injun is a ...?)

This cartoon was made before The Southern Strategy made racial jokes an EXTRA touchy subject. Nowadays, history has been reversed so I just I would point out that this Cool Cat dude was Northerner or Californian and probably a Republican. The ones insulting the "Injuns" who Cool Cat is making fun of were probably the Southern Democrats who are the ones who call themselves Republicans nowadays. Yes, I know it's confusing.
