Tonight I scanned the November, 1916, issue of The Etude Magazine and therein spotted this Cream of Wheat ad painted by Leslie Wallace.

I am tired and crotchety and experiencing an ancillary WHOOSH moment.

Possibly on account of the incongruities bludgeoning my head muscles I thought it made sense to share:

I shall now loll around extravagantly in my fancy new office chair, inhaling the mild, silent air washing in from these streets of the United States of America.
