Description
A series of five humorous cartoons. The first one shows four men in a bathroom. Two watch on as the man who is shaving speaks to a large, angry bald man who is about to leave. In the second cartoon two men are on a steel girder being hoisted above a high construction site. The third depicts a soldier on an obstacle course having difficulty getting under the barbed wire and badly tearing his pants. In the fourth, three men are changing into uniforms, one of the men is looking at his duffel bag and scratching his head. In the final image there is a soldier with five children speaking with an officer who looks confused. There are two other soldiers escorting the man with the children.
