| Description | Four-panel comic strip is one of a series in which Seminole Sam Fox (the con artist) undertakes to sell the Cincinnati Post Building to Albert Alligator so he can use it to manufacture good weather for the United States. In this strip, when Pogo Possum tells the half-blind Mole MacCarony of the project, the Mole approves, noting that the weather Canada has been supplying is "shoddy" and an "international fraud! Take the Gulf Stream ..." But when Pogo asks, "Ain't the Gulf Stream our own job?" the Mole squirts him with his anti-germ spray, insisting that "that stream is from the Gulf of Mexico! Hah! Absolutely unregulated! Wandering willy nilly all over our sovereign ocean .... a scandal!" MacCarony is probably a caricature of Senator Pat McCarran who opposed Communism and immigration of non-Europeans in equal parts. Kelly pokes fun at exaggerated patriots like McCarran who fear foreign subversion. |
