What you’re looking at

This page contains **humorous verse and jokes rather than political cartoons**. The content includes: 1. **"Thank You, Brother Manning"** — An acrostic poem praising the publication itself, suggesting reader appreciation. 2. **"Trashshooters, Attention!"** — A joke about newlyweds, where a bride humorously tells her husband to "make it snappy" while handing him a sawed-off shotgun—playing on double meanings. 3. **"Ode to a Centipede"** — Light verse about a centipede trudging through snow. 4. **"Another Every Day In Every Way"** — A gossip joke where old women discuss a young woman's escalating reputation for impropriety, progressing from local to state-level scandal. 5. **Noah joke** — A punchline about Noah's propriety when the elephant boarded the ark. The magazine targets rural/working-class humor with sexual innuendo and small-town gossip themes typical of 1920s satirical publications.
