Back in ancient times before the invention of photoshop, people who wanted to mess with pictures had to use scissors. I think he might actually be sitting on the pony, though, with just the background replaced. Ernie Lain was a really fine football player, by the way. Here’s a link to the front of the sports page of the Titusville, Pennsylvania Herald from September 22, 1938 that has a piece about him. (It’s all the way over in the left column.) It’s worth opening this link just to see what was going on in professional baseball on that date.
