comment What is the meaning of this cartoon by Dr. Seuss?
@Jim, James - I, for one, didn't know this meaning of "gunning" so this makes it definitely an English question. Maybe not of the level required by EL&U, more matching ell.SE, but without understanding the meaning of "gunning" as "seeking opportunity to criticize" no amount of reading biographies would let me understand this cartoon.

comment help interpreting this line
Rephrasing into something easier to parse: You hand your camera to a total stranger. It's a universal gesture. The universality of this gesture is remarkable.

comment “recce” — the reck which a reckless is lacking
A question for these who vote to close this as general reference, can you point me to which general reference resource contains the answers to my questions (these asked below the quote), specifically about the old form, "recce", not modern "reck"?
