This page collects brief humorous quips and jokes from various college publications, organized around social situations of the 1920s era. **Key themes include:** - **Dating/courtship humor**: References to kissing, "petting" (courting), and modern dating practices - **College life**: Jokes about professors, librarians, and student behavior - **Fashion commentary**: A dig at women's shortening skirts ("modern" dress getting progressively briefer—a contemporary scandal) - **Class/social pretension**: Humor about driving, restaurants, and maintaining appearances - **Jackie Coogan reference**: The child actor was famous around 1920-21, dating this publication The cartoons feature exaggerated character types (old men with goggles, roughnecks, professors) and situational comedy. The overall tone reflects 1920s attitudes: mildly risqué humor about dating and dress, working-class characters portrayed as crude but lovable, and gentle ribbing of academic pretense. This is essentially a humor compilation page, not political satire—it's social comedy targeting college students and young adults of that era.
