Summary

"Punch, or the London Charivari, Volume 101, December 12, 1891" by Various is a collection of funny stories, smart remarks about politics, poems, and pictures that makes fun of life in the late 1800s. It includes a funny letter from Diogenes Robinson to Laziness, talking about how hard it is to stop putting things off and all the jobs he doesn't do. It introduces funny characters, such as Figtree, a lawyer who doesn't like to work but is still successful. Politicians are made fun of too. Other parts have silly poems and jokes about what life was like back then, like how silly the government can be and how hard life is for regular people, all told in a light and funny way.
