EDITORS COMMENTS
In this hilarious and heartwarming print captured on Boxing Day morning in 1946, we witness the relatable struggle of DICKSI, the African bull elephant at the London Zoo. Suffering from that all-too-familiar "morning after" feeling, DICKSI finds solace in a much-needed livener graciously offered by his dedicated keeper. With his massive tusks and gentle eyes, DICKSI stands tall amidst a backdrop of animal crackers scattered around him. The comical juxtaposition of this majestic creature indulging in a remedy for his hangover brings an unexpected sense of humor to the scene. As he extends his trunk towards the medicine bottle presented by his caring keeper, one can't help but marvel at the bond between man and beast. It is evident that even animals experience moments of vulnerability and seek comfort just like us humans. This snapshot from the 1940s captures not only a light-hearted moment but also serves as a reminder that laughter transcends species boundaries. Whether it's through playful antics or shared experiences, animals have always had their unique way of bringing joy into our lives. So let this delightful image serve as a testament to both the amusing nature of our animal friends and our ability to find humor even in unexpected places.
