Karl Kae Knecht Cartoon
| Description: |
The month of May holds an umbrella, and a man holds a huge flyswatter near an equally huge fly that has the text Fly Time near it, perhaps indicating that Knecht thinks the year is passing to quickly. The cartoon also celebrates the 17th anniversary of the first U.S.A. airmail service, and announces (or reminds) a transportation club dinner tonight.
