"Another Form of Watchful Waiting" is a 1942-1945 pen and ink drawing by Clifford K. Berryman. The cartoon depicts a large group of children waiting outside a closed public bathing beach. The sign on the building reads "Public Bathing Beach will not open for 10 Days." The Washington Monument is seen in the background, with the sun shining brightly above. Berryman's work was known for its political satire and social commentary, and this piece likely reflects the anxieties of the time during World War II, when public gatherings were often restricted.
