What you’re looking at

This page contains humor columns and advertisements rather than political cartoons. The "Aut Scissors Aut Nullus" section offers brief comedic anecdotes: one about an elderly man (Ivan Haddleton) using marriage to make his heir happy, and another featuring Scottish and African characters discussing "the right burn" and boat access to Glesca (Glasgow)—playing on dialect humor typical of early 20th-century comedy. The advertisements include a Liberty Bonds recruitment ad (likely WWI-era, urging financial support for the war effort) and a Clysmic brand water promotion. The Liberty Bonds ad uses patriotic imagery of figures lending "a hand" to the war effort, a common propaganda appeal from that period.
