The professional humorists' club

The professional humorists' club
1 drawing : black ink over pencil, with gray wash, and opaque white on illustration board ; 39.0 x 32.5 cm. (sheet)
In a club sitting room various types of men mope about in sad, angry, and depressed moods. One suicidal man holds a gun to his head, another kicks an astonished waiter and points to a chick popping out of his egg, and a third cries while reading Life magazine. A painting on the rear wall, of a man dressed in a toga and holding a mask before his face, is identified as "Aristophanies."
