Gran Pops Nose Out of Joint by King Kong: A Whimsical Encounter between Lawson Wood's Wily Orang Utan and the Cinematic Giant This delightful and humorous print by renowned British artist Lawson Wood captures a moment of surprise and consternation on the face of his beloved character, Gran Pops, as King Kong's colossal form looms ominously in the background. Painted at a time when King Kong was making waves in Britain and captivating audiences at the cinemas, this playful image showcases Wood's unique ability to blend historical events with his iconic cartoon creations. Gran Pops, a mischievous orang utan known for his wily antics, is depicted with a look of disbelief and alarm as he gazes up at the gigantic ape, his nose twitching in agitation. The contrast between the tiny, human-like figure of Gran Pops and the towering, terrifying presence of King Kong adds to the comedic effect of the image. King Kong, the giant film star, had recently made his debut on the silver screen, leaving audiences in awe of his size and power. Wood's playful take on the situation highlights the cultural impact of the movie and the fascination it held over the public at the time. This print is a testament to the enduring appeal of Lawson Wood's work and the ability of humour to transcend time and capture the essence of historical moments. With its charming illustration and light-hearted tone, it is a must-have for any collector of vintage prints, pop culture memorabilia, or fans of Lawson Wood's work.
