Additional Details:
A comic illustration of a man with a red nose, holding a telephone receiver and shaking his fist at a wall-mounted pay phone. He has a bottle labeled "XXX" in his jacket pocket. The caption reads, "WHATCHA MEAN 'NUMBER PLEASE'? (HIC) YUH GOT MAH NICKEL, NOW GIMME MAH !!@*?# PEANUTS!". The joke is that the inebriated man has mistaken the pay phone for a peanut vending machine.
