Our Favorites
1952

A collage of various illustrations and text bubbles with satirical commentary, centered around a sun-like figure with numerous rays of text pointing outward. The top banner reads "OUR FAVORITES" and the image includes a mix of caricatures, animals, and objects, each accompanied by humorous or ironic statements. The right side features a column of text, providing context or additional narrative to the scene. The overall layout mimics a newspaper or magazine page with a chaotic yet structured arrangement of elements.
