"The Kiss"


On the left is Alfred Eisenstaedt's iconic photo of VJ Day in New York, 1945.

On the right are two cats. They are wrestling; the tabby is going for the yellow cat's jugular (playfully). So they are not kissing, but the juxtaposition of the two photos is wonderful.

Found at Dilidoo. Source unknown.

    So that is what the sailor in 1945 was doing... going for the jugular? Thank you for clearing that up for me. He and the young lady looked playful too.
