What you’re looking at

This page contains two unrelated jokes from international sources: **Top cartoon** (from French publication *Le Rire*): A radio concert promoter tells a musician his voice is excellent but his face is too ugly for public performance—so he'll only use him for radio broadcasts, where the audience won't see him. The humor plays on radio's invisibility and vanity about appearance. **Bottom cartoon** (from *London Mail*): A customs official asks a returning traveler what goods he must declare. The traveler's witty response is simply that he's happy to be home—a lighthearted comment on the relief of travel's end rather than any contraband declaration. The joke is the unexpected emotional answer instead of listing dutiable items. Both are gentle, observational humor typical of early-to-mid 20th century satirical magazines, relying on wordplay rather than sharp political critique.
