At this point, I turned … Read the rest...

The cartoon I am reporting about today is within a toy store. A monster crustacean is terrorizing the store help who are busy chucking plastic dolls at the beast to drive him off. Their battle cry is “Throw another Barbie on the shrimp.”… Read the rest...

This is by Himie Koshevoy who has many other excellent puns in this collection.
The automobile has banned the horse from the highways of the continent, and no more so than from the mighty bridges across the great rivers, for the slow steed would create intolerable tie-ups if he were allowed into those slim bottlenecks.
