The first cartoon is a satire on the Jewish holliday Hanukkah, which celebrates the victory of the Jews over their oppressors, symbolized by the victory of light over darkness. The cartoon uses the ideal green to satirize the fame of the Jewish people for their business talent.
In the second cartoon, the satire involves Santa, who uses the reindeer to pull his sled in a supposed susteinable way so as not to pollute the environment.
