The artwork

An oversized red strap curls toward a small yellow infant harness beneath a remarkably grown-up complaint. The restrained equipment gives the translated baby’s objection a clear visual setting.

The scene

Brother, Can You Spare Two Dimes? · Season 3, Episode 24

Herb Powell’s invention translates infant babbling into adult speech. At a baby-products convention it translates a restrained baby’s objection to a leash into this unusually mature complaint. The apparatus also translates other infants’ wants, and buyers order the invention.
