1938 25th Attempt Bunch Catastrophic Hang Mistletoe Strip Styled
A Catastrophic Mistletoe Hang,
EDITORS COMMENTS
by D. Egville (1938) This delightful comic strip illustration by British artist D. Egville, dated November or December of 1938, captures the humorous side of the holiday season in a series of six panels. The scene centers around a man's ambitious attempt to hang a bunch of mistletoe in his home, an age-old tradition symbolizing love and good fortune. In the first panel, the man stands atop a ladder, a large bunch of mistletoe in hand, ready to secure it to the ceiling. In the second panel, his cat, sensing an opportunity for mischief, knocks the ladder away, sending the man crashing to the floor. In the third panel, the man, now determined, attempts to use a chair for support, only to have it collapse beneath him. The fourth panel shows the man's wife entering the room, looking concerned at the chaos unfolding. In the fifth panel, the man, now desperate, grabs a broom and attempts to reach the ceiling, only to slip and send the mistletoe bundle crashing to the ground. In the final panel, the man, defeated, sits on the floor surrounded by the scattered mistletoe, with his wife looking on in amusement. This historical comic strip, published by ILN (The Illustrated London News), showcases the importance of perseverance and good humor during the holiday season, even when things don't go as planned. The illustration, with its charming, comic-styled art, is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of holiday traditions or the lighter side of human nature.
