You also see it in a few Warner Brothers cartoons from the era.
Also from WWII era WB cartoons et cetera: "Is this/was that trip REALLY necessary?"

Bugs actually kicked himself off a train because the travel was not necesssary.
Wonder how much freeway and airport traffic would be reduced if this idea would be used again?
