What you’re looking at

This page contains brief satirical gossip items and jokes rather than cartoons. The content targets Hollywood celebrities and social conventions of the era: 1. **Barbara La Marr adoption**: Mocking her multiple marriages to different men (La Marr, Watson, Ainsworth, Lytell, Converse, Deeley), suggesting adoption was unnecessary given her marital history. 2. **Marjorie Prevost's quick divorce**: Satirizes the speed of a film bride's marriage ending, joking that film actresses' names should remain in type longer before publication due to rapid divorces. 3. **Jack Miller anecdote**: Notes he lacks his father's robust health, alternating between acting and sanitarium stays. The humor relies on readers' familiarity with Hollywood gossip and mocking the era's marital instability among entertainers.
