Description

Rube Goldberg contraption daily. Rube Goldberg machines became part of the lexicon for decades and were used to describe over-elaborate and complicated devices to do simple things. Later in his work, he created Professor Lucifer Gorgonzola Butts as the inventor of these machines but this one is much earlier than those and predates Professor Butts. The second gag is also fun, I had to research a Bronx cocktail which was a drink created around 1899 and had the reputation of being a limp drink so much so that it was referenced in a 1913 play where a character was criticized for being as weak as a Bronx cocktail.

Rube Goldberg is one of the most important and innovative cartoonist that ever worked in comics. It is a shame his name is not better known today. He was wildly popular in his time and even won a Pulitzer. The National Cartoonist Society's award is named after him.
