What you’re looking at
This page contains three separate humorous anecdotes rather than political cartoons: 1. **"Armistice Encounter"**: A story about encountering an old backwoods man in Northern Minnesota while wearing a khaki uniform. The man hasn't heard news of WWI's end (Lee's surrender reference suggests confusion about which war). The satire mocks rural isolation from current events. 2. **"Game Hog Reform"**: A brief note about state game commissions banning publicity photos of dead wildlife, positioning hunting as "poor sport" rather than sportsmanship—likely responding to post-WWI conservation efforts. 3. **"Street Car Incident"**: An incomplete anecdote beginning on a Twin City trolley, cut off mid-story. The page appears designed for light comedic reading rather than serious political commentary. A footer advertises "The New Fawcett magazine" launching May 3rd.
