Which cartoon character was used as the face of the IRS in promotional campaigns? Correct

The correct answer is Donald Duck. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) used Donald Duck as the face of their promotional campaigns to encourage Americans to pay their taxes during World War II. Donald Duck was featured in a short animated film titled “The New Spirit” in 1942, which aimed to educate viewers about the importance of paying taxes to support the war effort. While Bugs Bunny, Popeye, and Betty Boop are all iconic cartoon characters, none of them were specifically used by the IRS in promotional campaigns related to tax payment. Donald Duck’s portrayal in these campaigns helped raise awareness about tax responsibilities and the contributions needed for the war.
