Paper bag drawing by Mario Sanchez depicting a house with three ladies in polka dot dresses standing in front talking. Caption from Sanchez reads, 'This scene is self explanatory. It is typical of small towns, where they decide in groups to tell each other that they do not like to gossip, only to talk in a low tone so that they women on the porch cannot hear because it is about them'.
