This page collects brief satirical jokes and observations organized around the theme of "Leaders"—people in positions of authority or influence. The humor targets early 1920s social conventions and human foibles rather than specific political figures. **Key satirical targets include:** - **Gender relations**: Multiple jokes mock marital discord, divorce proceedings, and romantic complications (the "Percy, You Brute!" divorce court scene) - **Consumer culture**: Grocer and customer exchanges joke about evaporating goods and poor value - **Materialism**: References to luxury items (Buick cars, jewelry) as relationship commodities - **Social pretension**: Jokes about theater-going, travel to Venice/Rialto, and club membership - **Generational conflict**: "Pop and Mop" discuss ancient ruins humorously miscalculated as 1925-era buildings - **Prohibition era**: Likely references in some dialogue, though unclear The cartoons feature flapper-era women and men in formal dress, reflecting 1920s aesthetics. This is entertainment humor from college magazines (Georgia Tech, Williams College credited), emphasizing domestic absurdities over political commentary.
