| Details |
Cartoon, Pigeons and Rats -- a satirical comment on double standards between different social classes. On the left, upper-class women think nothing of watching while the men shoot pigeons. On the right, however, working-class men of the Bill Sykes variety enjoy watching a dog killing rats, but wouldn't dream of inviting their wives.
