Like, when Louise Fili was working on \u003cem\u003eScripts\u003c\/em\u003e, she picked up this 1935 issue of \u003cem\u003eRidendo: Revue gaie pour les médecins\u003c\/em\u003e, a French humor journal intended for the medical profession. Founded in 1934, and published by the Office de vulgarisation pharmaceutique, this issue has a cover by Jacques Touchet showing two doctors, one of which is having good-natured fun with a speculum. \u003cem\u003eMDR!\u003c\/em\u003e (FYI: That’s the French equivalent of \u003cem\u003eLOL\u003c\/em\u003e. It’s short for \u003cem\u003emort de rire\u003c\/em\u003e, or “dying of laughter.”) Other comparable cartoons (and scripts) are inside. From the collection of Louise Fili—and this is the very item reproduced on page 16 of \u003cem\u003eScripts\u003c\/em\u003e.
