Hon, I think your reading WAY to much into the cartoon. And unless I missed something, these cartoons are like 40 to 50 years old. That's the same era as Little Sambo for goodness sakes! If you REALLY want to get into it, you could also say that Popeye cartoons are saying that fat people are lazy (Whimpy) mean (Bluto, Brutus, Pluto) and can not be trusted. And what about Daffy and Donald duck? The little black duck is the bad guy who is always causing trouble, where the little white duck is a good guy who has bad things happen to him. Hmmm.
