What you’re looking at

This page contains three humorous anecdotes rather than cartoons: 1. **Florida Climate Joke**: A man named Irving returns from Florida lovelorn but claims to have gained "the air"—a pun on his romantic disappointment. 2. **"Oh, Cholly!"**: A dialogue where Gwendolyn seeks birthday gift advice for her beau. Susie suggests increasingly absurd presents (book, cigars, beer, kimona) that the boyfriend doesn't use, culminating in the joke that such an ascetic man needs a "kimona" (likely a humorous ethnic reference). 3. **"An Irishman's Toast"**: A sentimental poem praising whiskey, employing Irish dialect stereotypes popular in early 20th-century American humor. The final line references Brigham Young's polygamy, suggesting modern fabric abundance would amuse him.
