Felix the Cat Astronomeous 1928

Another Felix the Cat silent cartoon with a fairly crude soundtrack added by distributor, Jacques Kopfstein. Candidate Felix promises the cats of earth a better life on Mars.
It's stated on various websites that this cartoon was originally titled "Astromeows," probably a more sensible title, but I've never seen a print with that name. Perhaps that was the title of the silent version which got slightly scrambled when sound was added.

The Alabama thing is a reference to the 1924 Democratic National Convention in 1924. That was the first convention to be covered by radio and established a record for 103 ballots being necessary for the Democrats to select a candidate. Each role call, of course, began with Alabama, being the first state alphabetically, and people listening on the radio were amused by the accent of the chairman of the Alabama contingent when he announced their vote. It became a topical joke of the time. This cartoon coming out in 1928, another presidential election year, brought back the joke.
