What you’re looking at

This page collects satirical vignettes lampooning theatrical and social scenarios of the Jazz Age era (likely 1920s). The sketches mock romantic encounters and courtship rituals: **"What a Nice Wand"** depicts a magician's seduction line—the "wand" is a transparent pickup attempt, with the woman feigning attachment to deflect him. **"Palace"** shows a woman rejecting a suitor's advances, claiming she'll take up horseback riding once he "steals the horse"—mocking his empty promises and her impatience. **"Don't You Ever Feel Like Kissing?"** presents a woman dismissing romance as time-consuming, suggesting she hasn't "gotten through" her previous romantic entanglements yet. **"Applesauce"** (slang for flattery) depicts a woman unimpressed by compliments about her sleepy demeanor and bare hands. The cartoons satirize the era's dating conventions, female independence, and male courtship tactics—poking fun at both flirtation failures and women's growing assertiveness in refusing unwanted advances.
