Poor Elroy Jetson.
George and Jane’s whiz kid was gravely ill and fading fast.
“This is it,” he dazedly tells his mother in the space age cartoon’s 10th episode. “It’s growing black. Quick, where’s a pencil? I gotta make out my will.”

Almost instantly, a physician appears on a large drop-down monitor in the Jetsons’ home and, donning a hand-tied cloth facemask (N95s are curiously non-existent in 2062), examines Elroy virtually. Upon inspecting the boy’s mouth, the doctor ties Elroy’s tummy troubles to his most unusual breakfast—two dozen gumdrops, a pastrami sandwich, and half a pizza (quite the departure from his usual milk, cereal, bacon, and soft-boiled egg).
“Well, it pains me to tell you, but there’s only one known cure,” Dr. Ken Racey informs Elroy. “A full day at school. You’re fine.”
