The 1934 one is one year into FDR's term with stuff like FDIC/SEC/ Glass Steagall already enacted.

I wonder what the cartoons will look like in 2010

Thanks, Fred, terrific find. I'm a huge fan of historical analogies and comparisons, and am always totally and completely amazed at how little we learn from our historical mistakes. Same %&$#, different day...over and over and over.
