A bloated businessman, holding an American flag labeled “Victory,” rides in a wheelbarrow being pushed by another man. In the background, a young boy is explaining to a stranger that the scene is the result of a bet over the outcome of the presidential election. Caption: Boy–Yes, it was an election bet and Dad won. Ain’t he making an awful fool of the other fellow? / Stranger–Yes! Which one is your Dad?
