Saturday Morning Cartoon - Olive Oyl for President

As we get closer to Election Day, I thought we may want to take a look at some of the alternate candidates that didn't get much traction in the year they ran.   Here, from 1948, we find Olive Oyl running for the top spot against Dewey and Truman.   While that election has been called the greatest election upset in American history, I am sorry to say that Truman beat Dewey, not Olive.
This is the rare Popeye cartoon with no spinach, no Bluto, and very little violence.   It also is a bit sexist, rooted in the 1948 ideals of womanhood.  Enjoy!
