What you’re looking at

This page contains primarily **poetry and short prose pieces** rather than political cartoons. The content reflects **World War I-era concerns**: **"Now"** (by Douglas Malloch) is a romantic poem about seizing the present moment with a beloved, likely resonating with wartime separation anxieties. **"On Leave"** (by Ruth Wright Kauffman) depicts a soldier home on leave, homesick despite being home—capturing the psychological displacement of wartime. **"Everything in Common"** satirizes modern courtship by showing an engaged couple discovering they share trivial preferences (favorite colors, authors, dances), suggesting shallow compatibility based on surface agreement rather than genuine soul connection—a social commentary on contemporary marriage expectations. **"A Modified Lame Duck"** makes a dark joke: a newly enlisted soldier, asked about next winter's dance trends, quips it will be the "goose-step backwards"—a grim reference to either military marching or potential defeat/retreat. The advertisements (typing schools, mailing services) are period-typical. The overall tone reflects **wartime anxieties** mixed with gentle social satire about romance and modern life.
