What you’re looking at
This page contains humorous personal essays by Don Herold rather than political cartoons. The main content mocks everyday frustrations and absurd social observations: **"Men I Have Never Met"** complains about the unnamed person who parks too close, causing the author physical injury while moving their car—a relatable urban annoyance. He also humorously notes he's never met whoever actually manufactures dominoes with painted dots, and proposes selling cheated domino sets (paralleling marked cards and loaded dice). **"More and Other"** is satirical commentary on claimed health benefits: a bulletproof pad of summonses "protects" a cop; beaches offer nothing to the already-destitute; dog boarding costs equal college tuition (suggesting both are poor values); and his personal athletic pursuits (golf, swimming, tennis) have provided zero health improvement. The bottom cartoon shows a mechanic attempting to extinguish a garage fire. The caption references "red-hot mammas"—period slang for attractive women—with crude innuendo about how they "got that way." The humor relies on everyday relatability and cynical observations rather than political satire.

Fatuer—That’s exactly how I would take on most of the time of I didn’t inhibit. MORE AND OTHER by Don Herold New. York patrolman was saved from death the other day when a bandit’s bullet was stopped by a pad of summonses in his pocket. This should teach policemen who have summonses in their pockets to keep them there. eee Most people who go to beaches for their health already have nothing else, eee The Watland Kennels at Ardsley now charge $5 a week for boarding a dog. If I remember correctly, that is exactly what it cost me to go to college—83.50 a week for meals and $1.50 a week for room. Well, this does not prove anything. se. @¢ I played a game of golf in 1911 and another one in 1921, and I can not say that golf has done me any good. I took a swim in 1923, and I don’t think it helped me any. I played two games of tennis in 1924, and can one see no improvement in my health, I don’t think outdoor exercise is what it is cracked up to be, after all. (Continued on page 30) Men I Have Never Met ELIEVE it or not, I have never met the man who parks his car right smack up against mine, making it necessary for me to get out and push his balloon-tired buggy a few feet backward or forwagd, whichever the case may be. Thus doing I have strained my intestines twice, frac- tured an esophagus and consistently become the laughing-stock of a gathering crowd. I am anxious to meet one of these B—— face to face, or fisticuffs to face. Just last night it came to my mind, during a most exciting game of two- handed dominoes, that somewhere in the universe there must be men and women who paint the lovely black dots on the ivory surface of dom- inoes, If any of you readers are engaged in this occupation or know anyone who is I wish you would put me in touch with them. I have a great idea for making a trick set which will enable the owner to be a consistent winner. We have marked cards, loaded dice—why not premeditated dominoes. In all my gadding about I have never met a man whose occupation is painting dots on dominoes. These red-hot mammas they sing about didn't get that way leaning \ Fuadge will poy 8.5 for Gach one printed comicbooks.com
