Wee Macgreegor's Heart-Wrenching Moment: A Classic Punch Parody from January 1903 In this poignant and humorous illustration from the renowned British satirical weekly, Punch, Wee Macgreegor, a beloved character from Scottish literature, is depicted in tears. The illustration, created by the talented duo J.J. Bell (writer) and John Hassall (artist), was published on January 21, 1903. Wee Macgreegor, a popular character from children's literature, was known for his mischievous antics and endless appetite for oatmeal. However, in this parody, the young boy is shown in a rare moment of vulnerability. The reason for his tears remains a mystery, adding to the intrigue and charm of the image. The illustration is a pastiche of the original character, with Hassall's expert use of line and shading bringing depth and emotion to the scene. Bell's witty writing complements the artwork, creating a delightful contrast between the lightheartedness of the character and the unexpected seriousness of the moment. This image is a testament to the enduring appeal of Wee Macgreegor and the power of Punch's satirical humor. It offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the rich literary and artistic heritage of the early 20th century.
