Keep Trump Away From Earth's Controls

Moldering on my refrigerator door is a browned 3-by-4-inch newsprint clipping of a single frame from Max Fleischer’s animated cartoon “KoKo’s Earth Control”, dated (c.) 1928.  In the frame, KoKo the clown is lecturing his dog Fitz about the huge lever imbedded in the wall behind him below a sign proclaiming, “Danger, beware, do not touch earth control!  If this handle is pulled, the world will come to an end!”
