What you’re looking at

This is a multi-panel satirical comic by Keitho (signed) critiquing modern social trends through theatrical scenarios. The primary targets are: **1. Greek invasion/modern culture**: The opening panel mocks anxiety about Greek immigration or cultural influence in America, asking what the "Greek invasion" will bring. **2. Home cooking vs. modernity**: A young wife's pancake prompts her husband to play recorded music (Victrola) rather than appreciate her domestic labor—satirizing how technology is replacing traditional homemaking values. **3. Women's changing roles**: A woman discusses preferring a male judge as a "friend" rather than a husband, mocking evolving attitudes toward women's independence and companionship outside marriage. **4. Fashion and morality**: Commentary on women's clothing becoming "wider" and scandalous—a common anxiety of the era about flapper fashion. **5. Mexico/immigration**: Brief reference to Mexican imports and a bike race, continuing anti-immigrant sentiment. The overall satire critiques American anxieties about rapid social change, immigrant populations, women's liberation, and technology's impact on traditional domestic life.
