What you’re looking at

This page contains satirical short pieces and jokes rather than political cartoons. The humor targets: 1. **"The Reward of Virtue"** — Mocks classified ads advertising a low-paid Protestant clerk position, sarcastically suggesting virtue leads to poverty wages ($17). 2. **"Something Wrong!"** — Jokes about a hen-laying advertisement claiming "18 hens, 16 eggs a day," questioning the productivity of the other two hens. 3. **"Oh, Jazz!"** — Satirizes jazz culture and a salesman's dismissive attitude toward modern music records. 4. **Camp cook dialogue** — Mocks military food quality through a joke about soup tasting like dishwater. 5. **Police prayer anecdote** — Ironically suggests that Minneapolis police chief J. Francis Walker's request for prayer helped, since his force immediately arrested "drunks" — implying either divine intervention worked or prayer is ineffective for crime prevention.
