The reading at 4:24 in this Betty Boop cartoon. What does it mean? [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/jK-3gh69hlg/maxresdefault.jpg "Betty Boop I'll Be Glad...1932 Banned Cartoon") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jK-3gh69hlg) It tried Googling it, and came up with “meaning,” but that can’t be right. ---

The question has been asked and answered in the comments. Assuming they are correct… Kosher A Cannibal joke. In bad taste. 😉 ---

I enjoyed Armstrong’s jazz music. ---

The cartoon helped get Armstrong’s music out to a much wider audience. Probably brought more people into the clubs to see him. I don’t know what the cartoonists were smoking. There were a lot of very bizarre, almost hallucinogenic cartoons made in the thirties. Some racist and some just employed crazy imagery. ---

Some racist and some just employed crazy imagery. That’s the Fleischer School of animation, one of the greatest ever. Imagination was not something they were short on.
