A holiday card for this economy.

Earlier this year, I used a cartoon by Ralph Fuller (1890-1963) in my series on the cartoons of the Great Depression (see part 8: Christmas 1931). It depicts Santa Claus as he emerges from a snowy chimney, stripped to his underwear, his eye blackened, exclaiming: “Gosh! I didn’t realize they were so hard up!”
Given the country’s current economic woes, we have decided to republish the cartoon as a holiday card this year. Just click on the image to the left for a better look!
