Karl Kae Knecht Cartoon

Description:	Several scenes showing how people are dealing with the shortage of cigarettes. A man whispers to a sales clerk that someone told him to see him. A man holds a pack of cigarettes behind his back; he hands it off to a second man as he passes by. Two women discuss smoking part of a cigarette, then saving the rest for later. A saleswoman tells a group of customers that they only have a few unpopular brands left in stock. A man and a woman roll their own cigarettes. A group of women are playing cards; one is smoking a cigar and two are smoking pipes. A man reaches into a large ashcan to take the butts others have left there. Image Access WideTEK 25 Gus told me to see you. ? I got a pack with cellophane on it. Cellophane? Where were they hiding? None. Naturally old and regular customers and friends come first. Psst! Lucille--Psst. Why I thought that was the name of a liquor. Emmy lets--. Johnny Walker and Smellorinos is all we have. Brands one never noticed before. Whats that black end? That my dear is a butt! I smoke part, put it out, save it, and relight it later. Back to rolling your own. Oh! Dear Ill never get it. Why dont they ration them? Its too bad itll drive them to this. We can expect snitching butts from hotel and theater lobby containers. And curb snipers. One can quit. [in margins: 20th. 10th December. Courier. 3 column. 11/10/44]
