What you’re looking at

This page contains four separate humorous pieces rather than unified cartoons: 1. **"Job For the Wise Office Boy"**: A brief joke about a male clerk caught unable to account for missing hosiery inventory to a female customer—the humor relies on embarrassment about women's intimate apparel. 2. **"McGickoney Should Keep Maud at Home"**: A verse about a stubborn mule that refuses to graze, climbs a mountain, insults a hermit, and gets given away to a lion. The joke appears to be a play on stubbornness and consequences. 3. **Dentist/cavity joke**: A brief exchange about dental work. 4. **"Our Sunday School Lesson"**: A Scottish domestic scene where a wife lectures her husband about Solomon's biblical wives, concluding he'd have made Solomon "an awfu' poor" man—satirizing pedantic Bible literalism and marital dynamics.
