Two Men and Outhouse
Image
Two barefoot men are standing and looking at a dilapidated outhouse, which has a sliding board for a seat extending out of the sides of the outhouse. The board has varying sizes of holes cut in it. The text bubble at the top reads: "I'm thinkin' about gittin' it patented." A plucked chicken with a question mark in a text bubble above its head is standing on the board looking at one of the holes.
Boyum, Sid, 1914-1991
