6. Re: Mrs. Butterworth's:

I think Aunt Jemima was the syrup the cartoonist was thinking of.

[JHB]

7. Clay Jones (the cartoonist) addressed that point:

https://claytoonz.com/2018/11/12/mr-haterworth/

Creative note: I originally had this idea with Aunt Jemima, but I wasn’t sure if they still, or ever, had a bottle in the shape of a woman. I also wasn’t too sure about this idea. Then, while watching football and eating hot wings at a bar yesterday, I saw the new commercial of KFC’s Colonel dancing with Mrs. Butterworth. I think the cartoon gods were using that disturbing commercial to tell me I had to do this cartoon, and that I was confusing Aunt Jemima with Mrs. Butterworth. Maybe racist corporate mascots all look alike to me.

9. {Quoting Clay Jones:} Mrs. Butterworth is a "racist corporate mascot"?

Maybe he's reading more into this than it deserves.

12. Love the Cartoons!

Ms Butterworth syrup bottle was changed from a very buxom woman and hinted at racist and misogynistic elements related to African American women.

I believe this is what the cartoonist is referring to as he captured this illustration.

17. I can't imagine having to WORK at any of those McDonalds!

Can you imagine what happens when Trump's entourage shows up? And I hear he has people order food for him.

[NurseJackie]

19. If they know it's for Trump... how can they be sure that nobody spits in the special sauce?

[Initech]

20. Spitting would be the least of my concerns.

I'm sure, knowing that Trump is a mob boss, that he has a professional food taste tester around at all times. If not, he's doing it wrong.

[Gothmog]

14. Thank you for the cartoons

[El Mimbreno]

15. Syrup: ROTFLMAO! Thanks! NT

22. Think of the magnitude . . .

He created an ENTIRE universe.

[argyl]

23. I remember that Fantastic Four issue with the Hate-Monger.

RIP, Stan. You were a true mensch. And you were much more than a comic book writer. You wore your love of America and the best ideals of America like a heart on your sleeve.

And you expressed it beautifully. Marvel Comics was perhaps the biggest cultural influence of my early adolescent years.

Until The Beatles anyway.
