Not the first time a children’s dictionary has been marred by unnecessarily dark imagery.
And that’s terrible.

Even the children are brutal.

That image could have had 40 cakes with very little change, but doesn’t. I guess the illustration wasnt done with this dictionary in mind

Possibly picked whichever definition filled the line best.

I learned about this at an early age, but it was on the news. IIRC this was done in Haiti when Baby Doc Duvalier was president.
Kids will find out what they will find out, but a children’s book is obviously a completely inappropriate place for this reference.

Guess he got tired of that “good, good darkness” down Mexico way.

that tickles my sense for sadly hilarious/hilariously sad…
And that’s terrible.
Like when the big machine we all helped create grinds something pure and innocent into the dust with great efficiency and we all stand by and drink strawberry fanta (strawberry fanta is dope).
What’s the problem?

One of the cakes is flying off the cart and got cropped out of this image. Otherwise there’s at least the implication of forty cakes (that’s as many as four tens!) because of the four presumably identical tiers of that cart.
Lex Luthor’s cake-stealing ways have been made retroactively canonical, but I’m pretty sure that picture was made for that dictionary.

You can’t afford to be discriminatory when rooting out collaborators. If you are, the opponent can simply pick collaborators from whoever is underrepresented in your campaign of terrifying extrajudicial executions. Meritrocity™ is just good policy!
Most metal dictionary ever.
If you look up “necklace define” on Google, definition 2 is “(chiefly in South Africa) a tire doused or filled with gasoline, placed around a victim’s neck, and set on fire.”, so maybe where ever they got the base definitions it was left in there accidentally on purpose.

So the recursive definition of ‘need’ is the Sanrio Metal we all want to see in the world, but unpacking 1680 to modern-era accessories with zero murder is appropriate?
I’m going to need some more cartoons of the person leaving Anthony Weiner pulling a certain Hillary out of a ‘moral minefield,’ plus some kind of outing where the Sanrio-dan make fun of mens’ necklaces, please.

Hm. It’ll wait a century I suppose.

I hear they’re replacing it with a definition of a Colombian Necktie.
