Intellectual child cynic by Frank R Grey
An irritatingly intellectual little boy (called by the cartoonist, Repulsive Rupert) sits reading some hefty tomes at a table and says to his mother, who is darning socks, It will be interesting to see, Mater, if the Paters child complex will be sufficiently strong this year to overcome his sense of the ridiculous and thus enable him to enact again this year the Santa Claus legend for the benefit of baby and me. His bemused father, just seen behind the door, is probably regretting the expensive education he has given his son! Date: 1930

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming and witty illustration by Frank R. Grey, titled "Intellectual Child Cynic," we encounter a precocious young boy, dubbed "Repulsive Rupert" by the cartoonist, engrossed in some weighty tomes at the dining table. Surrounded by stacks of books, Rupert looks up at his mother, who is diligently darning socks nearby, and shares his cynical thoughts about the upcoming Christmas season. With a smirk on his face, he questions the strength of the 'Paters child complex' in his family, implying that his sophisticated intellect may hinder his participation in the traditional Santa Claus legend for another year. The bemused expression on his father's face, who is only partially visible behind the door, suggests that he may be regretting the expensive education he has given his son. This delightful image captures the essence of the 1930s, with its amusing portrayal of a snobbish, intellectual, and cynical child, and the contrasting humble activity of his mother darning socks. The scene is filled with humor and a touch of the absurd, making it a delightful addition to any collection of vintage family art.
