George Booth's Rules of Order

The following cartoon with a prehistoric setting was sold last month at New York's Swann Galleries. It seems that cartoonist George Booth was the first to appreciate that cavemen had a good intuitive feel for Robert's Rules of Order.

"This meeting was called in order to discuss the meat. It has been pointed
out that there is no more meat. A motion has been made to fight over the bones."
Inscribed "To Nancy! George Booth"
