Sid Sitting on Stone Wall at Cemetery
Image
Sid is sitting on a stone wall looking out over a graveyard. He is wearing a hat and a checkered hunting jacket and has a cigar in his mouth. A stream of fake smoke is rising from end of the cigar. A Union Pacific Railroad calendar opened to July 1961 is under his right arm. "57," "59," and "58" are on headstones in the background; the headstone bearing the year "1960" is in the foreground. The stone cemetery wall bears the aphorism: "Tomorrow May Be Never."
