The professional humorists' club

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."

Date & Place: 1914 Oct. 22 [publication date]
