What you’re looking at

This page contains several brief satirical sketches typical of 1920s humor magazines: 1. **"Republished By Request"**: An ant drinks whiskey near a dead horse and attempts to move the carcass, treating it with false bravado. The joke relies on physical comedy—the tiny ant's absurd ambition versus reality. 2. **"One of Benny's Daily Dozen"**: A crude joke about a child having a seizure, presented as beneficial. This reflects deeply offensive early-20th-century attitudes toward disability. 3. **"A lady voter"**: A satirical jab at women's suffrage (recently granted in 1920), mocking female voters' political knowledge. 4. **"Red Skins"**: A racist stereotype joke about Native Americans and hygiene. The page exemplifies period prejudices against women, people with disabilities, and Indigenous peoples.
