- 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. Beside the drawing it says “IF I CAN MANAGE TO SANDWICH MYSELF BETWEEN TWO GOOD STOUT FELLOW PEDESTRIANS ---------”, 2) A Neanderthal (appears to be) is running away from a long neck dinosaur. Beside the drawing it says “MY PREHISTORIC ANCESTOR DODGING A DINOSAUR -----------”, and 3) A man walks in front of a vehicle reading a newspaper. There is another car driving away in the opposite direction. Beside the drawing it says “I HOPPED OFF AS THE AVIATORS SAY AND WENT ACROSS THE STREET ----------”. verso: near the middle of the board there is a sketch of two pirates, one with a sword that has injured the other. 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.”
