HUNTING 1954
No more rabbits at all...
In the 1954 hunting season...
But some take comfort with the Martians!
Suc as this Mr. Faisan [Pheasant]! A name that makes hunters' mouth water.
The other day, he thought he saw a Martian, returning from the hunt. And fired... It was only a modest earthling. Fixing his car by the glow of his headlights...
Luckily it wasn't really a Martian ...
It would have been enough to create a diplomatic incident with Mars.
And start the war of the worlds.
