What you’re looking at

# "Why Bunker Has Given Up Sunday Golf" This page satirizes a wealthy man ("the President") who receives $25,000 annually for travel expenses yet lives beyond his means. The main cartoon depicts a church gathering, illustrating the article's premise: even the affluent struggle with overspending. Below, a smaller comic shows a man in formal dress being chased by a woman holding what appears to be a bill or notice, while another man watches. The caption reads: "You've had him long enough. It's my turn now"—suggesting debt collectors or creditors quarreling over who gets to pursue the debtor next. The satire mocks the financial irresponsibility of the wealthy elite during what appears to be the early 20th century, implying that even substantial incomes cannot satisfy excessive spending habits.
