POTUS-Harry-S-Truman

This is from 1932. The reason she becomes Smith and not FDR is because Smith was considered the front runner when it was animated


POTUS-Harry-S-Truman

Another fun fact: this is the first depiction of a fictional president to appear on screen.

POTUS-Harry-S-Truman

I can explain: this cartoon was made before FDR entered the race, and so Smith was widely expected to be the Democratic Nominee. As a result, they animated Betty as Al Smith.

It came out in November of 1932, so I guess it took them a full year to make this cartoon.

Al Smith was half Italian?! Assumed he was 100% Irish. His dad was Alfredo Ferraro. Alfred Smith.

What's hilarious is that the satire works for almost every election. She's all, "vote for me and you'll get everything you dream of and I'll kiss you!" LOL
