Is that sorrel (the one drinking) a cross between a horse and a kangaroo?

I dunno, but the white one looks like a cross between a horse and a spaniel.

19/6, just short of a UK pound, only 97p these days, but enough for a good night out in 1968. Well Mr RA Lewis was no Picasso. I think I would have stuck to the 5 pints of beer and done my own Jackson Pollack on the carpet afterwards.
