231. Ice Cream Vendor Cartoon

May 26, 2010

Q: I’m looking for an image of the S. Gross cartoon of a very dour ice cream vendor standing at his cart. A sign on the cart says “Adolph’s One Flavor: take it or leave it!” Can’t seem to find this online. Maybe I’m the only one who remembers it as funny.

A: Carol comes through again: “It ain’t Sam, it’s Charlie! That is, it’s Rodrigues, not Gross. The fascistic icecream man appears in ‘Entrepreneurs’ by Rodrigues, in the Dec. ’75 (Money) issue. It was reprinted in Best Of #7.”

It ain't Sam, it's Charlie! That is, it's Rodrigues, not Gross. The fascistic icecream man appears in "Entrepreneurs" by Rodrigues, in the Dec. '75 (Money) issue. It was reprinted in Best Of #7.
