Summary

"Punch, or the London Charivari, Volume 156, April 9, 1919" by Various is a comedic journal offering a glimpse into British society just after World War I. The collection uses funny articles and mocking cartoons to comment on the world at the time, from government issues to life at home and the funny parts of culture. It pokes fun at the problems people faced while switching from war to peace, makes jokes about the confusing rules of the army, and laughs at how Brits were getting used to new ways of living. There are light hearted thoughts on topics like not having enough food, the armed forces, and what people thought was normal.
