Make Mine Freedom




This 1948 Cold War-era cartoon uses humor to tout the dangers of Communism and the benefits of capitalism.


Wild Thing’s comment……..
Cartoonists wouldn’t be allowed to make a cartoon lilke this today. That is so sad too. America has changed so much. I wonder if somehow we can one day go back to the NON PC world we all grew up in.
Great cartoon ! I agree, make mine FREEDOM too.

…. Thank you Jim for sending this to me.

This is excellent. Finally our John Q. Public is waking up. The message is the same today as it was in 1948. Maybe a little more difficult this time, but still the same.

Too bad this cartoon can’t be shown on the evening news or just before whatever the popular TV shows are now. I remember it, but I don’t remember whether I saw it at school or in a movie theatre.
