        Um … my comment was a joke (and an obvious one, I thought). Normal Rockwell never did a “Turn your head and cough” illustration. FYI “turn your head and cough” is something doctors used to have you do while holding your nuts in their hand, to detect a hernia.

          They still do, no need for an FYI.

          No idea how many Rockwell paintings there are or why this would be construed a s a joke, but I guess “whoosh” me.
