What you’re looking at

This is a humorous comic strip depicting a woman's various misadventures in a bathroom setting. The title references "The Lady from Missouri," likely alluding to a specific cultural figure or stereotype of the era, though the exact reference is unclear without additional context. The strip shows a series of increasingly absurd bathroom scenarios: the woman bathing in various positions, interacting with a man (possibly a servant or attendant), and finding herself in physically impossible or undignified situations. The humor appears satirical—poking fun at either the pretensions of a particular type of woman, bathroom etiquette, or perhaps contemporary scandals. The "impossible adventures" framing suggests the strip is mock-serious, treating mundane bathroom activities as dramatic episodes worthy of serialization.
