# "Life" Magazine Cartoon: "Make It Two" This cartoon depicts a wartime sandwich shop scene. A soldier in military uniform stands at a counter ordering from a proprietor, with the caption "Make it two." The shop's sign reads "SANDWICHES" overhead. The satire likely comments on soldier morale, rationing, or food availability during wartime (appears to be WWI or WWII era based on the uniform style). The humor suggests either the soldier's hearty appetite despite wartime shortages, or perhaps commentary on profiteering by businesses during military service. The proprietor's expression and the soldier's confident demeanor create a comedic tension about civilian-military economic interactions during wartime. The cartoon's point remains somewhat unclear without additional context about specific wartime food policies or conditions referenced.
