What you’re looking at

This page contains no cartoon. Instead, it features two text sections: The first discusses divorce and remarriage statistics during the "Jazz Age," noting that divorced people frequently remarry multiple times. The author speculates that negative effects of this social trend won't fully manifest for generations. The second section, titled "They Named the Soap After Him," reprints a letter from a Minneapolis Journal advice column. A parent describes their seventeen-year-old son's lifelong gender dysphoria—his persistent identification as female since childhood, his resistance to masculine grooming, and his preference for girls' clothing and accessories. The satirical title suggests the magazine is mocking both the earnest medical/advice column format and the subject matter itself, treating genuine psychological distress as fodder for humor.
