Black and white cartoon poster ‘Providence’ by artist John Peck aka The Mad Peck, 1978. The four cartoon panels are drawn in a realistic film noir style, starting with a drenched woman entering from a pouring rain, to a One Way sign on Friendship Street in Providence RI, to a richly dressed woman in a an expensivly furnished living room, to two pair of students dancing closely to a phonograph playing in a sparsely furnished apartment. Power and Hope are two other Providence streets. PROVIDENCE RHODE ISLAND WHERE IT RAINS TWO DAYS OUT OF THREE EXCEPT DURING THE RAINY SEASON WHEN IT SNOWS LIKE A BITCH, AND FRIENDSHIP IS A ONE WAY STREET. RICH FOLKS LIVE ON POWER STREET, BUT MOST OF US LIVE OFF HOPE.
