What you’re looking at
This page contains **primarily advertisements and editorial content**, not political cartoons. The main cartoon ("Turn About's Fair Play, Doc") is a brief joke: a doctor's long-time patient complains that the doctor has been his patient for two years—a role reversal joke suggesting the patient has been paying the doctor's bills and thus "treating" him financially. The "Solution Was Clear" text is political satire: a political candidate asks his audience what's needed to win the election with a huge majority. The crowd shouts back: "Another candidate!"—meaning the current candidate is so unpopular they'd prefer literally anyone else. This reflects period cynicism about politicians and electoral politics. The remaining content consists of advertisements for **Hinds Honey and Almond Cream** (a beauty product), **Lane Bryant maternity clothing**, and **Vogue magazine's Winter Fashions issue**—typical commercial pitches for the era.
