# "The Life of Attila the Second" - Page 101 **Main Cartoon (top):** Depicts military or political figures in formal uniforms gathered near a naval vessel. The caption references Attila visiting England and complaining to his uncle about "a poor thing the British fleet was." This appears to be satirizing someone (likely a foreign dignitary or political figure) making disparaging remarks about British naval power—a source of national pride. **"Heroes" Section (left):** A humorous column listing absurd definitions of heroes—people who refuse indecent plays, boast about literary knowledge, ignore conversations, employ chauffeurs, drink grape juice at Republican clubs. This mocks pretentious or self-righteous social attitudes of the era. **"A Watched Pot Never Boils" (bottom right):** A domestic scene by Paul Gould illustrating the proverb.
