As Rockwell was beginning his career, he incorporated children into most of his published works. An example was the ongoing adventures and misfortunes of Cousin Reginald, a popular theme and character for Rockwell’s Country Gentleman magazine covers. Cousin Reginald, modelled by Claude Fitzhugh, was an arrogant, yet harmless city boy who was often made the target of pranks by his country cousins. Cousin Reginald and his mischievous relatives.

Chuck Peterkin and the Doolittle brothers are pictured playing pirates. Cousin Reginald is tied up and being charged by Rusty Doolittle while his brother Tubby and Chuck assist with menacing glares. In the background, their dog Patsy observes the mischief.
