EDITORS COMMENTS
The 1937 cartoon titled "Back Talk from the Dummy" captures a pivotal moment in American politics during President Franklin Roosevelt's administration. The image depicts Congress as a stubborn and defiant dummy, refusing to play along with FDR's puppeteer, Edgar Bergen, who represents the President. This political satire reflects the tensions between Roosevelt and Congress over his New Deal policies aimed at combating the Great Depression. Despite FDR's efforts to push forward his democratic agenda and implement economic reforms, Congress is shown resisting his influence. The cartoon symbolizes the power struggle between the executive branch and legislative branch of government. It highlights how Congress, represented by the dummy, refuses to be controlled or manipulated by Roosevelt's administration. Furthermore, this artwork alludes to Supreme Court decisions that had struck down some of FDR's key political acts as unconstitutional. The court packing plan proposed by Roosevelt in 1937 was met with resistance from both Democrats and Republicans in Congress. This opposition is cleverly depicted through the refusal of Charlie McCarthy (Congress) to comply with Edgar Bergen (FDR). Overall, this cartoon serves as a visual commentary on American politics during this era – showcasing not only congressional defiance but also highlighting challenges faced by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in implementing his progressive policies for America's recovery.
