Scope and content

A family looking at choice between two signs: one stating 'Democrat Real Estate, For Sale! Jimmy Carter Fault', next to a large opening in the land made out of Jimmy Carter's mouth, and the other stating 'Republican Land Deals, For Sale! Mount Reagan (formerly believed extinct)' with Reagan depicted as an erupting mountain behind it. In the bottom right hand corner John B Anderson is leaing against a mobile home for sale. The mother and daughter of the family are looking away from Reagan and Carter, towards Anderson. [This could be a reference to the League of Women Voters decision to include Anderson in leadership debates]. The depiction of Anderson, Carter, and Reagan suggests this was during the 1980 Presidential Election.
