What an interesting cartoon in honour of Gene Wilder. The adults are drawing the subject, Gene Wilder, as an adult and Thatababy is drawing him as a baby. That could lead to the question ’Could it be that all babies view adults as babies, too? I realize anything is possible in a cartoon but…….in actuality, perhaps babies would find it easier to grasp our interest and love for them if they actually did view us on their level. If we could see through their eyes, perhaps we could grasp the way our actions come across to them in various scenarios and we could improve our methods of relating to them.
Thank you so much for the tribute. I had only a vague remembrance of him and while reading his biography realized that I never saw “The Producers”. Need to get this one on DVD ASAP.
Few movies made from books are better than the books, but “Willy Wonka” definitely was. (So were “The Wizard of Oz”, “Pinocchio”, and “Mary Poppins.” Is the secret that it’s easier to improve children’s books?)
Have been watching this strip get unfunnier by the day. A lot of the gags are just unfunny social commentary, a cop out. Too bad, cause" the artwork is superb, maybe it can turn itself around.

I used to watch “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” all the time. I watched it every week. “YOU GET NOTHING! YOU LOSE! GOOD DAY SIR!”
