Brief Description
Cartoon drawing by Sam Wells with caricatures of Australian rules footballers, focusing on Melbourne and Collingwood players. The drawing is divided into several frames, which contain humorous scenes relating to football in the 1940s. At the top is an image of two Collingwood players overpowering a demon who lies prone on the ground; on the right, two Melbourne players, Den and Don Cordner are jumping to take a mark; in the lower-left, four players in striped jerseys are being taught in a classroom. Each scene is captioned, with some of the figures labelled. The drawing is presented with a white mount within a brown wood frame.
