EDITORS COMMENTS
When the Ice Man Gets There" is a humorous and satirical illustration from the August 8, 1906 issue of Puck magazine. In this cartoon, the devil is depicted as the "ice man," delivering a tiny piece of ice to a bloated businessman labeled "The Ice Man." The businessman, dressed in a fur coat and sitting on a heater in Hell, looks both surprised and disappointed at the small size of the ice. The illustration is a commentary on the idea that even in the afterlife, those who hoarded wealth and material possessions during their lives would still crave comforts and luxuries, such as ice, to alleviate their suffering. The use of the devil as the ice man adds a humorous and ironic twist to the scene, as the devil, traditionally associated with fire and punishment, becomes the provider of the coveted ice. The illustration was created in 1906, a time when the demand for ice was high due to the lack of refrigeration technology. Ice was used to keep food and drinks cool during the summer months, and the ice man was an essential figure in many communities. The image of the businessman, sitting in Hell and still desiring ice, highlights the insatiable nature of human desires and the futility of accumulating wealth and possessions. Overall, "When the Ice Man Gets There" is a clever and amusing illustration that uses satire and irony to comment on human nature and the pursuit of material comforts, even in the afterlife.
