What you’re looking at

This page from *Life* magazine contains two cartoon panels depicting a swimming scene. The upper panel shows several nude or semi-nude figures on a beach or shoreline engaged in what appears to be playful activity near a wooded area. The lower panel shows a single figure swimming in water, viewed from behind. The caption "Beat it, feller" suggests the swimmer is being told to leave or move along. The cartoons appear to satirize public bathing or beach behavior, likely poking fun at social awkwardness, intrusion, or impropriety around swimming areas—common subjects for satirical humor in early-to-mid 20th century American magazines. The specific social commentary remains unclear without additional context about the magazine's date and surrounding articles.
