A Cartoon Steeped in the Memories of Your Childhood and the Ideals of a Nation

Ernest and Mac travel a world torn by depression, dictatorship, and war, which meant they learned to know and love characters that didn’t look or think like them. Similarly, you and I saw tens of millions of people being booted out of the country they lived and worked in because of what was beyond their control. During the Depression, the American dream was defined as, and I'm paraphrasing, “that dream that has lured tens of millions all over the world to our shores in the past century and has become much more than that. It is a dream of being able to grow to fullest development as man and woman, uninhibited by social orders which had developed for the benefit of classes rather than for the simple human being of any and every class.”

And in the age of Trump, there aren't near enough cartoon characters in the mainstream that stand for something like that.
