"Punch, or the London Charivari, Volume 159, July 7th, 1920" by Various is a comical collection that holds a mirror up to British society during a time of change. Born in the wake of World War I, it uses jokes and funny drawings to poke fun at the way people acted and the things they cared about. Inside are amusing stories, including one about a dog named Timon who vanishes mysteriously, and funny visits to places like a bookmaker's shop and a sale on clothing, where we meet some pretty strange people. Clever jokes are used to reveal truths about English culture, giving people a chance to laugh at themselves while thinking about the world around them during those complicated years after the war.
