Kumashumi ambalwa eminyaka eyadlulayo, phambi kwe Toxoplasma gondii, ebangela i-toxoplasmosis, inokuchaphazela nabantu, abantu abaneekati babebhalwe "baphambene." Njenganamhlanje kukho abo babelana ngemizobo yabo yeekati ze-anthropomorphic kwi-Intanethi, isiNgesi sexesha lama-Victorian sikwazile ukubona imbambano ethile yomzobi ULouis Wain, abanemizobo efakwe kwiimagazini zelo xesha, kwiincwadi zabantwana nakwiiposikhadi.
Le ndoda yayikholelwa ukuba yayinesifo sengqondo, kwaye, enyanisweni, ayizange yonwabe kakhulu, kuba kwiminyaka nje emithathu emva kokuba itshate umfazi ogama linguEmily Richardson, umhlaza wabahlukanisa ngonaphakade.

Kumashumi eminyaka kwamkelwa ukuba uWain wayengumculi phakathi »mhle kwaye uyaphambana». Emva kwexesha, ngo-1966, iNew York Times yabhala inqaku malunga nemizobo yakhe enomxholo othi 'Inkqubela yeSifo, uthotho oludumileyo lwemizobo eyenziwe nguLouis Wain, umzobi waseLondon owanikezela kwisifo schizophrenia kwiminyaka ephakathi, ibonisa ukonakala kwengqondo. umculi ».
Ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo, iikati awayenazo uWain ebomini bakhe bonke yayingamaqabane akhethekileyo.
