There are several other pictures with labels around the room: “Down with tea!” “Anti-pie League,” “Coffee fighters,” and “No-candy band.” Caption: Chorus—”Hang it a little higher; no, a little lower; more to the right, please; no, more to the left; no, that’s crooked; hold on, that’s better. Keep it there now while we think about it,” etc., etc., etc.
