Charles Addams is best known for creating The Addams Family, but only a scant few of his strips that appeared in The New Yorker magazine were actually The Addams Family. Many of them have not aged well, more so the actual scans than the humor, but there are some that the humor is in poor taste now.
Here we have a day & nite tow truck parked in front of a car that has broken down, a roadside mechanic looks under the hood of the car revealing, presumably a hamster in an exercise wheel. The caption reads, “May I ask who’s been doing your repair work?”
Just to add, the hamster is either dead or sleep.
Well, see, there’s your problem <poke, poke>
He’s just napping! He’s gonna be fine!
Also he looks more like a squirrel to me but I’m on my phone
He’s pining for the fjords!
Isn’t this a trope? I could well be off haha, but if so I wonder if this is where it started.
