What you’re looking at

This page contains publication information, subscription rates, and two articles rather than political cartoons. **"Honest Isaac"** attacks Reverend Isaac Guirey of Oakland for hypocrisy—specifically, for denying involvement in a scandal while being known as a liar. The author argues the reverend lacks credibility and questions his moral authority. **"Mike in Paris"** is a travel letter from Paris (May 14, 1880) describing encounters with Languedoc natives and French women. It includes anecdotes about romantic interests and cultural observations, written in a humorous, colloquial style typical of period travel journalism. Neither section contains identifiable political cartoons. The magazine functions here primarily as a satirical publication venue for written critique and entertainment rather than visual satire.
