This is a submissions page for amateur cartoonists, featuring six short humorous comics drawn by different artists. The cartoons reflect early 20th-century social attitudes: 1. **Jackson/Johnson joke**: Uses racist dialect humor common to the era, making a pun about expansive romantic affection. 2. **"Kodak as you go"**: Depicts leisure photography as a modern, carefree activity. 3. **The romantic couple**: A sentimental scene about drinking from a lover's lips, playing on Victorian romance tropes. 4. **Woman with broom**: Depicts gender role conflict—a woman disciplining a man over a dog, prompting his complaint about "wimmin" running government. 5. **Absent-minded Professor**: Plays on the stock character of a forgetful intellectual who mistakes his mirror reflection for a stranger. 6. **Dance hall scene**: Brief joke about a young couple's romantic encounter. The overall tone is lighthearted, domestic humor reflecting period social norms and anxieties about modernity, gender roles, and courtship.
