What you’re looking at

This page contains three brief humorous pieces rather than political cartoons: 1. **"Old Stuff"**: A joke playing on tall tales. A stranger asks an old man if he remembers Washington crossing the Delaware. The man claims he steered the boat; when asked about Washington chopping down a cherry tree, he claims he drove the hack (axe). The humor relies on the man absurdly taking credit for famous historical events—exaggerating his own importance through obvious lies. 2. **"Rastus Johnsing Says"**: A brief dialect joke about bathing. 3. **"Sing It In High Tenor"**: Sentimental song lyrics, followed by commentary about lonely women looking at photographs of children—likely referencing WWI-era separation or loss. The page is primarily comedic and sentimental rather than political satire.
