What you’re looking at

This page contains several short jokes and anecdotes rather than political cartoons. The content includes: 1. **Bishop Hendrix's marriage commentary**: A satirical contrast between "old-fashioned" marriages (with multiple children) and "new-fashioned" ones (with frequent divorces), using children's observations as humor. 2. **Pat and Mike dialogue**: An Irish-stereotyped joke about Ireland's independence from England, suggesting the Irish got freedom without fighting—framed as unusual for the English. 3. **Schultz's job interview joke**: A pun about being a "pilot on a dump," where Schultz clarifies he piloted while "Casey did the digging." The humor relies on contemporary references to divorce rates, Irish independence (likely post-1920), and working-class stereotypes typical of 1920s American satire.
