What you’re looking at

This page contains three humorous poems/verses rather than cartoons: 1. **"Dusty Holden's Philosophy"** - A poem using card-game metaphors to philosophize about life's unpredictability. Hearts represent love, diamonds represent wealth and gambling, clubs represent war. The final spade image suggests death. It's a cynical meditation on fate. 2. **"Department Store Gossip"** - A brief poem about a woman named Lizzie who went out with a "floorwalker clown" (a department store employee), allegedly drunk. The humor centers on a man's attempt to use the absence of mud on her shoes as evidence of her innocence—a crude logical fallacy. 3. **"'Fifi' Stillman's Lullaby"** - A satirical baby lullaby mocking Jay Leeds's father (likely a wealthy businessman), celebrating infidelity and impending divorce profits.
