EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage cartoon print from 1919 titled "Drink to me only with thine eyes" by Jimmy Hopper is a humorous yet poignant reflection on the effects of alcoholism in post-World War I society. The cartoon depicts a group of men, including the chronic drunkard Jimmy Hopper, raising their glasses in a toast while being watched over by a solemn raven. The caption "Quoth the Raven: Nevermore!" adds an element of dark humor to the scene.
In this satirical portrayal, artist Terry Parker captures the societal issues surrounding alcohol abuse and its consequences on individuals like Jimmy Hopper. Despite the lighthearted tone of the cartoon, there is an underlying message about the dangers of excessive drinking and its impact on one's health and relationships.
The detailed evening dress worn by the characters and their animated expressions bring this scene to life, making it both entertaining and thought-provoking for viewers. Through his artistry, Parker invites us to reflect on our own relationship with alcohol and consider how we can prevent falling into patterns of chronic intoxication.
Overall, this cartoon print serves as a reminder that moderation is key when it comes to consuming alcohol, lest we end up like poor Jimmy Hopper - perpetually drunk and at risk of losing everything dear to us.
