# Life Magazine, June 13, 1901 This page features a single cartoon by T.K. Hanna depicting a domestic scene. A woman in an elegant black evening gown stands near a doorway while a man in formal attire (tuxedo) stands at a distance, appearing somewhat awkward or defensive. The caption reads: "She: 'When are you going to see papa? Every time I have called at his office he has been in.'" The joke targets a husband avoiding his father-in-law. The woman is pointedly noting that her father is always at his office when she visits—implying the husband is deliberately avoiding him by not calling. This reflects early 1900s social expectations about family visits and the humorous domestic tension between spouses regarding in-laws.
