What you’re looking at
This page contains three brief humorous anecdotes rather than political cartoons: 1. **"Sights Unseen"**: Addie Lade meets an occult dabbler at a party and makes a witty comeback about being "nice underneath" as well as outside—deflating the occultist's pretentious mysticism. 2. **"And This From Boston, Too"**: A husband mistakes a maid for his wife and compliments her on ruining her complexion at the beach—a simple case of mistaken identity humor. 3. **"This Story Is For Taxi Drivers"**: A drunk man escapes a taxi ride by claiming he lost his money roll, then flees into darkness. The joke targets both drunken behavior and taxi driver frustrations. The final verse humorously questions whether romantic love survives hearing one's partner snore.
