# Page Analysis This is a single-panel cartoon illustration from a pulp magazine, signed "Sod" in the lower left. The caption reads "Let's Play Blind Mans Buff." The drawing depicts two figures on a tropical beach near a palm tree and anchored ship. One figure wears a blindfold while the other appears to be posing or positioning themselves. The cartoon uses the children's game "Blind Man's Buff" as a humorous setup, playing on the double meaning suggested by the beach setting and the figures' appearances. The illustration is rendered in black ink with stippled shading typical of early-twentieth-century pulp magazine artwork.
