Summary

"Punch, or the London Charivari, Volume 152, June 6, 1917" by Various is a comedic magazine released during World War I full of funny articles, cartoons, and thoughts on what was happening then, society, and politics, mirroring how people felt at the time. It uses the clever and sharp humor that "Punch" is known for, with different jokes and silly articles making fun of how odd life was during the war and the political situation. The edition gives a glimpse into British life during a difficult time, from showing the problems soldiers and regular people had with food limits and government rules to playfully criticizing military choices and social expectations. With a mixture of poems and stories, the collection comments on many things, such as women's roles during the war and different famous people, providing both light-heartedness and criticism as a way to express what people were thinking.
