# Two Domestic Comedy Sketches This page contains two separate satirical cartoons about marriage and social propriety. **Top cartoon**: A messy domestic scene where a woman addresses "Alice," telling her family would "love to have them"—likely discussing houseguests or relatives, while the home appears chaotic with overturned furniture. **Bottom cartoon**: A husband and wife are caught playing frisbee (or a similar game) outdoors in public. When onlookers appear, the husband panics, telling his wife to stop. She sarcastically responds by questioning whether he's *ashamed* to be seen with his own wife in public. The satire targets male embarrassment about displaying affection or domestic life publicly—a social anxiety common to the era. The joke suggests married men paradoxically hide their wives in public despite commitment to them privately, reflecting period attitudes about masculine dignity and public decorum.
