...busy with a motion picture and had no time for publishing. He might have skipped an issue. Instead he whipped off a cartoon for the cover, printed half the inside pages solid black, left half blank, at the bottom of each printed the caption: "Hold up to the sunlight for five minutes and you will see figures of political significance."
