What you’re looking at

This page contains brief humorous anecdotes rather than political cartoons. The jokes target: 1. **University courses**: Satire on a University of Washington correspondence course for mothers about baby care, with a joke about "Lunch Hour" being lesson one. 2. **Women's appearance**: A quip suggesting women need only possess physical attractiveness to invite "suspicion" (implying infidelity). 3. **Hog contentment**: Folksy humor about a pig's simple life ambitions—eating and mud. 4. **A farmer's misunderstanding**: Dark comedy about a hired man's poorly-worded telegram announcing the farmer's wife's death, which the farmer initially misunderstood as referring to his cow. 5. **Olaf's fake degree**: A joke about someone claiming a humorous made-up degree in "Bugs and Indisposed Radio Sets." The page exemplifies typical 1920s satirical magazine humor—lighthearted, occasionally crude, focused on domestic and rural scenarios.
