What you’re looking at

# Explanation of Life Magazine Page 116 **The Main Cartoon** ("Two of a Kind"): Shows two hunters hiding behind a tree stump. One tells the other not to shoot, saying they forgot to load their gun and "the Dom burd won't wait"—a dialect joke playing on hunting incompetence. **"Good News for the Foul-Legged French"**: Satirizes the Paris medical faculty's rejection of a proposal to teach vivisection (surgery practice on live animals). The piece mocks this decision as scientifically backwards, contrasting French squeamishness about animal cruelty with practical American medical training. **Other sections** include brief humorous pieces on procrastination and creditors' meetings, typical of Life's satirical commentary on everyday American life and attitudes.
