Have you seen any of those propoganda videos the the US Government promoted by him during WWII? They're kind of horrible, yet I laughed at poor Donald Duck.

Well, I just realized that I was mixing Seuss and Disney. My bad. Though, for anyone that wants to know what racist propaganda from WWII in the U.S. looked like, here's a 1943 Disney animation promoted by the Government at the time:



Yup....

I like Dr. Seuss' adult books, like the 7 Lady Godivas.

I believe it was actually subtle irony? Might be wrong..

But remember, too folks were put in jail for objecting to government policies at the time, definitely would find their careers ended if they did not "cooperate".

Nice!

1. Is it me or is that song at the beginning oddly catchy?

2. Why is it that the Japanese always look the most stereotypical?

3. I liked how Donald's habits (bacon & eggs) are explained by him actually dreaming.

4. Holy shit, that final part is more USA-ish than this dude is british.
