EDITORS COMMENTS
Masking the Medicine: A Classic 1930s Cartoon by Carl Anderson This charming and witty 1936 cartoon by Carl Anderson, titled "Masking the Medicine," captures the essence of a clever young boy named Henry outsmarting his grandmother as she tries to administer castor oil. The scene is set in a cozy, old-fashioned living room, where Henry sits nonchalantly in a rocking chair, wearing glasses and reading a comic book. His unsuspecting grandma, depicted with a kind face and wrinkles of experience, approaches him with a bottle of castor oil and a spoon, ready to dispense the unpleasant remedy. However, Henry, ever the trickster, has other plans. With a mischievous grin, he reaches for a cigarette and a card from the table, cleverly hiding the bottle and spoon behind them. He then pretends to puff on the cigarette and drop the card into the bottle, creating the illusion that he is taking a sip of the medicine. The grandma, completely unaware of the ruse, watches approvingly as Henry pretends to drink the castor oil, a satisfied expression on her face. This delightful cartoon, created by the talented Carl Anderson in 1936, captures the playful spirit of childhood and the enduring bond between grandparents and grandchildren. The use of humor and visual storytelling makes "Masking the Medicine" a timeless piece of art that continues to resonate with audiences today.
