What you’re looking at

# Cartoon Analysis This is a single-panel cartoon by R.B. Fuller showing two figures standing by a riverbank, observing a landscape with trees, hills, and dramatic storm clouds. The caption reads: "First Artist: Very well done, what" (with "(6)" indicating this is part of a numbered series). The joke appears to be a play on artistic appreciation or critique. One figure (the "First Artist") is complimenting another's work—likely commenting on the natural landscape or sky as if it were a painting. The incomplete caption "Very well done, what" suggests ironic or sarcastic praise, possibly mocking pretentious art criticism or the tendency to comment on nature as though it were a created artwork. The dramatic clouds dominate the composition, making them the likely subject of the critique.
