Kirk Stiles in College Humor, January 1940

Did readers of College Humor really identify with the injured football player in Kirk Stiles's cartoon from the January 1940 issue? The unsympathetic coach seems to be a caricature of the trainer who wants to win at all costs. Is it believable and, more importantly, is it funny? Finally, is it worthy of two exclamation points?

"Tie score, three yards to go for goal—and you break a leg!!"
Kirk Stiles
College Humor, Vol. 11, No. 1, January 1940
