Buzzy Says 'You Get What You Vote For!' Click for the fullpageAnother Buzzy public service ad, this one dealing with voting — well, more or less.

BuzzyAn unintentionally ironic title to this PSA, as both anecdotes actually concern people not voting.

BuzzyWith the introduction of his father, it seems clear Buzzy inherited his stick-my-nose-in-other-people’s-business tendencies. Let’s hope he didn’t also inherit the “incapable of writing things down in calendars” gene.

This PSA was found in DC comics from November 1952. The script was by Jack Schiff with art by partner in crime Win Mortimer.

    I don’t think it is about voting, not really. But what is it about? “Always show up to meetings on time”? “Consider all options and be flexible in your decision making”? “Postpone all meetings until the rich kid gets there”?

    I think what happened is: DC told Schiff to do a PSA about the benefits of democracy. Schiff had a mental block, and wrote the first thing that came into his head. Result: a PSA for something even more irrelevant than usual!

    Agreed that this does not really convey the idea properly. Now if Buzzy had decided to not go to the meeting because he was certain they’d decide to go to the farm, that would be another matter.

    *wry grin* Incidentally, am I the only person who thinks that in most of these elections, the problem isn’t so much people not voting as that we have too many uninformed voters voting because they feel it’s their “civic duty” to close their eyes and poke at the board, because they always vote along straight party lines, or because they’re strongarmed into it by organizers driving around with vans looking for warm bodies?
