It's a shame that we live is such a hyper politically correct age where we can't have too much slap stick in our cartoons or where women & minorities HAVE to be empowered cliches. I don't want the other extreme of just low brow content but people need to learn to ease up on things, especially in this age where our table talk is now broadcasted to the vice president.

that's just life, people like attractive people both men and woman, also this cartoon is from the 30s, so don't take it too seriously.
