7. The cartoon shows a ‘shade’ of Teddy Roosevelt exclaiming that his ‘big stick’ isn’t nearly as big as the ones wielded by the House and the Senate after FDR’s election. This is a reference to the sudden Democratic power in both branches the representatives enjoyed. It was probably drawn by a Republican, as he seems to side with Teddy. The date was probably around 1932-1933. I think it’s funny that both Roosevelts are referred to in this cartoon. Also, Teddy had been dead since 1919. The cartoonist calls him a ‘shade’. Shades are a part of Greek mythology referring to the ghosts of warriors who had died.
