What you’re looking at

This page contains two satirical cartoons about domestic life and social hypocrisy: **Top cartoon ("Accounted For"):** A woman confronts a man about eating wood, which he denied. He claims he made a joke while eating—implying the joke aided digestion. The satire mocks men's excuses and rationalization of their behavior. **Bottom cartoon ("Just a Little Favor"):** A woman named Marguerite asks her father to stop a young man from visiting, claiming he won't leave until afternoon. Her father attempts to physically remove the persistent suitor. The humor satirizes courtship customs and overbearing parental interference with romantic visits—a common concern in early-20th-century social etiquette. Both cartoons use exaggerated caricature to mock domestic relations and gender dynamics of the era.
