Warning: Spoilers
. . . about the dangers of gambling, particularly Craps, but by implication the Numbers Game as well, with this brief cartoon, ANGEL PUSS. While some people might see the doomed feline title character as the victim here, a close examination is required to spot Warner's True Meaning. ANGEL PUSS is a glib, fast-talking, perfidious CAT, representing America's Fat Cat slumlords, Johnnie-Come-Lately outsider bodega shysters, and local Crime Lords who prey upon the Poor and Under-Educated filling America's ghettos. ANGEL PUSS is a condescending, patronizing, Racist Fat Cat to boot, calling his Black Male keeper "Boy" and "Sambo" every chance he gets. Warner suggests that ANGEL PUSS is just begging for a .22 slug between his lying eyes. However, when ANGEL PUSS begins manipulating the mailboxes of the USPS, this is Warner's way of warning Blacks to be especially weary if the Government ever horns in on the Numbers Racket itself. Tragically, this 1944 prophecy of doom was COVERED UP by that Racist Southerner Ted "The 'Tomahawk Chopping'" Turner, owner of the Atlanta Braves, who seized control of Warner's Looney Tunes Early Warning Division so that he could suppress, hide, and forbid access to his so-called "Censored Eleven," as a way of helping the Racist Confederate states to hold the Black Man down in a perpetual bondage of harassment, unemployment, incarceration, and death-by-cop. Even the NAACP has declared that "Powerball" and "MegaMillions" is a PROGRESSIVE TAX whose primary purpose is to keep America's Urban Population "in check" by sucking resources out of the Hood. Anyone who watches the News knows that most of the Players are Black, but almost ALL the winners are White! Warner outlined this dire danger in ANGEL PUSS to prevent it from rearing its ugly Racist Head in Real Life, but Ted Turner and his bigoted Henchpeople undid Warner's Profile in Courage!
