Skacel takes a humorous angle at depicting Vieux Carre locations and culture in the post-WWII era. Two cartoon are puzzling- 1) four images of a young girl with pigtails wearing a sweatshirt bearing the letter "K" , that could possibly, represent a Catholic girl's school student or someone close to Skacel, and 2) at bottom right a matron crocheting a rug? with steel wire.
