- Three sketches take up a third of the page each: 1) A hunched over person walks between two stocky men. The man on the left is wearing a hat and walking with a cane, and the gentleman on the right is carrying a newspaper and smoking. They are walking into a crowd.

Underneath the drawing it reads “QUICK, BRING ME A CHAIR I CAN’T STAND THE SIGHT OF BLOOD” Below the drawing it says “My prehistoric ancestor dodging a dinosaur If I can manage to sandwich myself between two good stout fellow pedestrians I hopped off as the aviators say and went across the street That he will ever become a mechanical bird and fly over is out of the question.”
