What you’re looking at

This page is primarily a theater review section from *Life* magazine. The cartoon at the bottom depicts two dogs—one standing, one lying down—with the caption "LET'S TAKE HIS BONE" and "YOU MUST BE CRAZY, THAT GUY HAS A WAR MEDAL." The satire targets post-World War I attitudes: a dog with a war medal (representing a decorated veteran) possesses something the other dog wants to steal. The humor lies in the absurdity—the standing dog suggests theft from someone who has earned military honors, while the other dog protests that such a person deserves respect and protection due to their service. This likely comments on social attitudes toward war veterans during the 1918-1920 period, possibly mocking either callous disregard for veterans' sacrifices or satirizing exaggerated deference to military service. The dog metaphor simplifies the ethical question into obvious terms for comedic effect.
