What you’re looking at

This page contains four brief humor pieces rather than political cartoons: 1. **"Whizzical Whams"** - A joke about sheet music titled "Toyland Sketches," specifically mocking "The Arrival of the Teddy Bears" as undesirable. 2. **A verse** - A short romantic poem with a pun ("My roll is dwindling"). 3. **"Hymn 999"** - A dialog joke: a tenant asks about cursing heard Sunday morning; the janitor explains it was Mrs. McFadden swearing because she lost her prayer book before church—ironic humor about hypocrisy. 4. **"Our Old Friend Sal"** - A brief exchange where "Sal Hepatica" (a laxative brand name used as a pun for a woman's name) "worked" someone to exhaustion, ending with a joke about having a Sedan car to wear. These are light, pun-heavy humor pieces typical of 1920s satirical magazines.
