This page collects brief satirical jokes and observations targeting college students and wartime social issues. Key themes: **College humor** mocks student pretensions and romantic clichés—notably "Magazined," which parodies how different magazines would describe the same romantic scene, from *Ladies' Home Journal's* flowery sentimentality to *Century's* affected language ("Let us osculate"). **WWI references** include jokes about the draft (a young man named Ash growing a mustache to seem older), Liberty Bonds (war savings), and submarines threatening troop transport. **Social commentary** targets Prohibition ("Nobody drinks where wine is forbid") and changing gender dynamics ("Dethroned," where a man is no longer called "king" as republics replace monarchies). The humor is light and topical—aimed at educated readers familiar with current magazines, military conscription, and post-war social upheaval. The cartoons appear to be simple illustrations accompanying these jokes rather than complex political commentary.
