What you’re looking at
This page collects humorous quips and cartoon vignettes from various college publications (Princeton Tiger, Columbia Jester, Pitt Panther, etc.), reflecting early 20th-century collegiate and domestic humor. The jokes target familiar targets: **courtship and marriage** ("A Proposal" depicts a romantic scene ending in mutual capitulation), **parental discipline** (father permits match-playing only indoors—dark humor suggesting recklessness), and **gender relations** (wives as obstacles, husbands as reluctant). Other jokes mock **working-class life** (a hired farmhand who hides under trees), **romance and deception** (lovers keeping secret diaries), and **institutional authority** (a park officer enforcing licensing). The "Broken Bones" cartoon appears to be rural humor about poor farming practices. Overall, this represents period humor from college audiences: lighthearted, conservative in gender relations, and focused on courtship, authority, and class observation—typical of 1920s-era satirical magazine filler.
