✖ Via Curious George Takes A Job by Margaret & H. A. Rey, 1947, cover, p. 36 and p. 37

As George is recovering in the hospital, The Man with the Yellow Hat see a newspaper story on it, and alerts the hospital that he would come get him. As George is waiting to be discharged, he finds a bottle of ether, opens it, and the fumes make him high, then dizzy, then knocked him out cold. When The Man and the nurse find him, they had to throw him in the shower to wake him up. (wikipedia)

✖ Via Art Renewal Center / Emmanuel Frémiet: “Gorilla carrying off a Woman” (1887).

“Emmanuel Frémiet (December 6, 1824 – 10 September 1910) was a French sculptor. […] In the meanwhile he had exhibited his masterly “Gorilla Carrying off a Woman” which won him a medal of honour at the Salon of 1887. Although praised in its time, this work now evokes ridicule from some observers for its depiction of a gorilla abducting a nude woman, presumably with the intention of raping her - something not totally alien to actual gorilla behaviour, but orangutans, especially, have been recorded attempting to abduct female humans. Accordingly, this act has caught the public’s imagination, as witnessed by the repeated popularity of the King Kong theme.” (Wikipedia)
