In the 1932 short film Betty Boop for President Ms. Boop runs her campaign against the terrifying Mr. Nobody.
“When you’re hungry, who feeds you? Mr. Nobody.
Betty Boop for President
Who cares what becomes of you? Mr. Nobody.
Should you wake some early dawn
Find a new milkman is on
Who cares if your wife is gone? Mr. Nobody.”
Fortunately, the public picks Betty. She begins her public service by repaving the roads, serving free ice cream and replacing the electric chair with a makeover station that turns a gruff convict into a gay stereotype. They didn’t put that one in The Celluloid Closet.
