Things Just Aren't The Way They Used To Be

Times have changed since we were kids. On Fourth of July we played with fireworks, carseats were not a requirement, and things were definitely not as politically correct as they are now. Recently I acquired some children's books that a colleague was giving away. Most of the books were older, from when her (now grown) children were young. There is one book that Caleb especially loves called 'Herman the Helper.' It's all about a little octopus that goes around helping others. It cracks me up, though, because a book like this would never make it to the printing press with present-day standards.

So in the picture below, Herman is helping his dad to hunt. In a book written today, Herman would probably help his dad get his briefcase ready for work. And, by the way, what the heck is his dad hunting? Besides, at the end of the book the octopus family sits down for dinner and eats mashed potatoes!
He helped the 'old.' These days he would volunteer with the senior citizens.

He helped the poor and needy. Today he would help those with a socio-economic disadvantage.
Although worded OK, the last picture would certainly not be allowed to print as is, or someone would be fired for sure (think of the Little Mermaid snafu). I mean, who draws clouds like that?
