"The Mysterious Stranger and Other Cartoons" by John T. McCutcheon is a compilation of funny drawings and political pictures from the early 1900s that shows what life and politics were like back then. The collection uses jokes and funny situations to talk about important things that were happening, like big changes in the world after wars and the rise of famous leaders such as President Theodore Roosevelt. The cartoons make fun of how life was for kids back then, poke fun at President Roosevelt's adventures, and compare city life to country life; each picture has silly words that add to the humor and make the points even stronger. McCutcheon's illustrations are both funny and a window in time, offering a look at American society and politics from long ago.
