Mirth of a Nation #1

A collection of comic gags and humorous short pieces presented as a rapid-fire anthology of comedic content. Featured stories include domestic humor pieces such as one involving a newlywed couple on a tricycle being chased by a man in a flying saucer, wartime satire pieces mocking Axis leaders and enemy soldiers, and a comedic essay by Vera Smart titled "My Daze" recounting her attendance at barber college graduation exercises where students demonstrated increasingly elaborate (and absurd) tonsorial techniques. The issue combines slapstick visual humor with written jokes and satirical commentary on World War II-era topics.
