What you’re looking at
This page features a humor column by Norman Anthony asking street people: "What do you think is the most effective blow in prize fighting?" Four working-class men answer with boxing techniques, each demonstrating their answer through cartoonish illustrations: - **Ed. Kelly** recommends the right hand to the face - **Red Clancy** advocates the solar plexus strike - **Mike Hogan** suggests the uppercut - **Chuck Jones** champions the "rabbit punch" The humor lies in the simple, direct responses from ordinary laborers—these are real boxing enthusiasts sharing practical knowledge about the sport. The exaggerated drawings of men being struck emphasize each technique comedically. The satire gently mocks working-class boxing culture and street-level expertise. This reflects early-20th-century America's fascination with prize fighting, which was popular entertainment among urban working men.
