Its title, *Those Roosevelts!*, points to a whole family rather than one man, a jab that would have landed in 1938, when the name filled Washington news. The cartoon is dated June 1, 1938, and is probably from the *Washington Star*, a capital daily that ran political commentary through the New Deal years. Franklin D. Roosevelt, then in his second term as president, is the subject named in the record, and the piece likely reflects the public debate over his programs and the relatives active in public life around him. The publication details are marked unverified, so check them before relying on them.
