What you’re looking at

This page contains several brief humorous anecdotes rather than traditional cartoons. The jokes target: 1. **"Pasture Pot Pourri"**: Mocks a city girl's pretentiousness after being chased by a bull—she boasts about her "agility" climbing a fence while exposing her undergarments, ironically unaware of her undignified appearance. 2. **"We Wonder Why"**: A domestic satire about two wives praising their husbands as "good and sweet" for staying home, then admitting neither enjoys pleasure-seeking—implying the husbands are dull or sexually disinterested. 3. **"Latest Song Hit"**: A cheeky reference suggesting impropriety ("Sister Susie's night to use the Parlor"). 4. **Etiquette Lesson**: Absurdist advice about not pointing at drowning people. The humor targets vanity, marital dissatisfaction, and social pretension typical of 1920s satirical magazines.
