Peeking Out of Denial - The Ostrich with a Twist by Mallett
EDITORS COMMENTS
(1951) In this delightfully humorous cartoon by Mallett, dated 1951, an ostrich is depicted with its classic pose, hiding its head in the sand - a common symbolism for ignoring problems or facing reality. However, this ostrich has a clever and amusing twist: it's peeking out from under the sand using a periscope! The desert backdrop adds to the comical setting, as the ostrich appears to be the only inhabitant of this arid landscape. The use of a periscope suggests that the ostrich is not entirely in denial but is taking a proactive approach to scanning the surroundings for potential threats or opportunities. Mallett's masterful use of humor and wit in this cartoon is evident in the subtle details, such as the expression on the ostrich's face, which seems to convey a sense of relief and satisfaction as it peeks out of the sand. The cartoon's title, "Peeking Out of Denial," adds an extra layer of meaning, emphasizing the importance of acknowledging issues while still allowing for a lighthearted and amusing take on the situation. This charming and humorous cartoon is a wonderful addition to any collection of vintage illustrations, cartoons, or sayings. It is a reminder that even in the face of challenges, we can find humor and creativity in our responses, just like the resourceful ostrich with its periscope in the sand.
