What you’re looking at

This page contains a collection of short humorous anecdotes rather than cartoons. The jokes target rural/small-town life and social pretension: 1. A dig at intellectual pretension in Robbinsdale 2. A joke about a poorly-maintained Ford automobile 3. An anecdote about the author's car trouble near Brainerd, followed by a gravestone inscription humorously suggesting the deceased wife was unfaithful—with a guest's sarcastic comment about the husband suing for "alienation of affections" 4. A brief joke about a Leap Year proposal to a recently-released convict The humor relies on crude wordplay, class humor, and cynicism about marriage. The page closes with an advertisement for the magazine itself, on sale May 8th.
