EDITORS COMMENTS
What Times High Water?": A Humorous and Heartwarming Scene by Lawson Wood, 1932 In this delightful and humorous illustration by Lawson Wood, titled "What Times High Water?", we find ourselves in the company of two beloved characters from the artist's oeuvre: a little monkey and Gran'pop, the wily orang-utan. The scene unfolds on a rocky outcropping, where the two primates sit side by side, enjoying the sunny day. However, their tranquil moment is about to be disrupted by an encroaching natural force. The little monkey, with wide, expressive eyes and a concerned frown, looks imploringly at Gran'pop, who seems unfazed by the situation. The wise old orang-utan, with a knowing smile and a twinkle in his eye, nonchalantly puffs on his pipe as the tide begins to rise around them. The rock they are seated on becomes less roomy, and the water laps dangerously at their feet. The situation is undeniably funny and amusing, with the contrast between the little monkey's fear and Gran'pop's nonchalance adding to the humor. Yet, there is also a sense of warmth and affection in the scene, as the two primates rely on each other for comfort and reassurance. This charming and timeless illustration, created by Lawson Wood in 1932, is a testament to the artist's ability to capture the essence of humor and emotion through his characters. The scene invites us to reflect on the power of friendship and the importance of staying calm in the face of adversity. As the tide continues to rise, we are left wondering: what times indeed, high water? But with Gran'pop and the little monkey by our side, we know that no matter what challenges come our way, we will face them with grace, humor, and the unwavering support of those we love.
