This page collects brief satirical jokes from European publications, primarily focused on WWI-era humor. The three cartoons mock everyday anxieties: 1. **"Zeppelins"**: References German airship raids on Britain, joking that servants trust the policeman at the gate to protect them—absurd given the military threat from above. 2. **"The Bad Debt"**: A professor-student exchange satirizing intellectual pretension; the student claims to owe everything to the professor, who dismissively calls it trivial. 3. **"Expiation"**: A German cartoon (Fliegende Blätter) about a girl who can no longer befriend another because she gave her chocolate that caused a toothache—mocking the logic of petty grudges. The right side is a **Schlitz beer advertisement** criticizing competing brewers who warn customers to protect beer from light, positioning Schlitz's brown bottles as superior protection. This is commercial messaging, not satire.

Admittedly, it has no place in this enlight- ened age of progress. Yet the light bottle brewers, by the warning on their case covers, say it is your concern, not theirs, to keep their beer pure by pro- tecting it from light.
