Summary

"Punch, or the London Charivari, Vol. 105, August 12th 1893" by Various is a comedic magazine that pokes fun at life in the late 1800s. The magazine uses funny stories, poems, and jokes to comment on what was happening in society, politics, and culture back then. It's like holding a mirror up to the problems and events, but through a lens of humor and sarcasm. One story involves a family hilariously arguing over where to go on vacation until they agree on Herne Bay. Other parts make fun of cricket, the craziness of politics in the House of Commons, and create exaggerated characters of different people. The magazine captures a funny mix of everyday silliness and the weirdness of politics during that time.
