EDITORS COMMENTS
Gran Pops' Cocktail Party: A Roaring 1930s Rendezvous of Tipsy Animals by Lawson Wood Step into the whimsical world of Lawson Wood's Gran Pops, an orangutan bartender extraordinaire, as he whips up a storm of lethal cocktails for his tipsy animal friends in this humorous illustration from 1935. Gran Pops, a regular feature in The Sketch during the 1930s, is in full swing at his makeshift bar, surrounded by a motley crew of inebriated animals. A badger, pig, and chimpanzee, among others, are seen clinging to each other for support, their eyes glazed over and their postures decidedly unsteady. The scene is one of jovial chaos, with Gran Pops, the amusing mixologist, expertly mixing a concoction for a chimp, who eagerly awaits his drink with a hopeful expression. The anthropomorphic animals, each with their unique personalities, add to the merriment of the cocktail party. A pig, with a bottle of hooch in hand, leans against the bar, while a sozzled badger looks on, a cigar dangling from his mouth. The chimpanzees, in their smart suits, are the epitome of the era's fashionable partygoers, albeit in a very drunken state. The illustration, filled with Wood's signature wit and humor, perfectly encapsulates the spirit of the Roaring Twenties and the carefree attitude towards drinking that defined the era. The animals' antics are sure to bring a smile to your face and transport you to a time when life was simpler, and a good cocktail was all it took to make a party memorable. This amusing illustration, created by the talented Lawson Wood, is a testament to the power of humor and the enduring appeal of a good cocktail party.
