Fred Allen's Donut Cartoons

Fred Allen was an American comedian whose absurdist, topically pointed radio show (1932–1949) made him one of the most popular and forward-looking humorists in the so-called classic era of American radio, (you can find out more about him HERE.) What concerns us in today's post-Veteran's Day / Remembrance Day post is this collection of "funniest donut cartoons" that Allen produced in conjunction with the Doughnut Corporation of America in 1946. Assembled here are some familiar, and not so familiar classic gags from the golden era of cartoons, chosen by Fred and packaged in a small 30+ page booklet as a way to not only entertain, but to also show support during overseas war efforts when Americans were voluntarily depriving themselves of bread, cakes, and doughnuts (aka the valuable wheat ingredient) to help feed the starving millions of four continents. Also includes some fun tips on how to turn your square shindig into a super-duper, dynamite Donut Party!
