What you’re looking at

This page contains humorous anecdotes rather than political cartoons. The featured illustration shows a man in formal dress with a tennis racket, likely accompanying a now-illegible joke. The stories employ period stereotypes: **"More Than One Kind"** uses dialect humor featuring a Black domestic worker ("Aunt Maria") making a joke about her "hope box" being savings for divorce rather than marriage—subverting the genteel tradition discussed by her white employer's daughter. **"How the Disaster Occurred"** relies on racist caricature, depicting Black workers through exaggerated dialect ("yeahs," "gwine," "ovahheah") in a story about domestic violence played for laughs. **"Hopeless"** depicts an Irish cook as comically incompetent and accident-prone. These anecdotes reflect early 20th-century American humor that normalized ethnic and racial mockery. The page also includes a Nujol laxative advertisement framed as patriotic duty during wartime ("crisis").
