Description:
|
Half page cartoon. While the little boy's question is funny, why was the horse wearing a mask? The horse looks like a well maintained race horse and some race horses in training wear a mask with small blinders to keep them focused on the race. Most issues of Life had a theme that was introduced by the cover and reflected throughout the issue. While there was not an official theme for this issue, the cover depicted a horseman wearing a Mexican style hat looking towards the Northern lights depicted as an American flag.
