In this cartoon, two kids trick or treat at a house with a jack-o-lantern and a lady on the stoop holding a bowl of candy. One child is dressed as Lady Liberty and the other as a ghost. The Lady Liberty girls says, “Our parents used to work for the government…can we have a couple of sandwiches instead?”
