The "See Your Doctor" poster campaign was later written up in the Brooklyn Eagle on Wednesday February 7, 1940.

Brooklyn Eagle newspaper write-up: Mayor Spurs War On Social Disease Mayor LaGuardia in awarding prizes to winners of the citywide poster competition conducted by the Social Hygiene Bureau of the Department of Health today made an appeal against the "ignorance and hypocrisy" which, he said, are chiefly responsible for the failure to wipe out social diseases. Top prize winners were: Herbert R. Loges, 370 Lexington Ave., Manhattan, first prize; Alex Steinweiss, 1280 E. 12th St., Brooklyn, second prize, and John F. Jordan Jr., 8721 94th St., Woodhaven, third prize. More than 100 posters, urging sufferers to "See Your Doctor" were on display. The battle against social diseases, the Mayor said, was a "three-fold battle, against disease, ignorance and hypocrisy." He urged those afflicted to "be sensible" and see a private doctor or, if they cannot afford that, to go to a clinic.

I’ve used the - symbol a lot in Google searches but didn’t know it could also work for AI overviews. It’s essentially the NOT operator for searches and works in Google Scholar, too.

Fukase, who is probably more famous for photographing birds, was also a friend of felines:

A Lost Cat’s Reincarnation, in Masahisa Fukase’s “Afterword”
When the Japanese photographer’s kitten disappeared, and a stranger returned the wrong animal, he took the stray in anyway and made it the subject of a photo series.

Thanks for the suggestion and will give it a spin since it’s been a while!
Eventually, I’ll get around to adding some songs to this thread, too.

Released 30 years after the Mingus LP is another favorite: The Sea and Cake’s first album from ’94. I have the LP and CD but my LP’s insert is missing, hence the smaller CD insert: (Still Life with Mingus) painting by bassist Eric Claridge.
Same photograph as above (Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus LP sitting on the blue chord organ), but this photo has the CD insert from the Sea and Cake’s self-titled first album. The insert has a still life painting by bassist Eric Claridge depicting a green cylindrical vase(?), a blue chalice(?), and the cover of this Mingus LP (minus four Minguses).
