I remember this bit too! Honestly one of those things that feels darker as an adult.

Ether is an anesthetic. It’s saying he’s unconscious, not dead.

I had that book when I was a kid. I remember each and every frame in the pic you posted. Fun stuff. There was also a storyline about donuts. and some uber storyline about a man in a yellow hat. I love kid’s picture books. Fun stuff. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

I think I had this book. In old cartoons & kids’ books you had Wile E. Coyote blowing himself up all the time, characters getting bonked on the head by random objects… kids love anything that feels outrageous and those old cartoons delivered!

I have several of these.
George smoking a nice pipe after dinner is a good laugh too.

I used to have a T-shirt of the picture from the next page. George passed out next to the bottle of ether with a big grin on his face.
