The publication uses wit to explore the issues of the day, from mocking social customs to commenting on politics and culture, all while providing its readers with entertainment. One notable feature is a funny take on Henrik Ibsen's "The Wild Duck", where characters like Hialmar and Gina find themselves in ridiculous situations that highlight the absurdities of the human condition.

In essence, this compilation offers a humorous yet insightful look into the world of the late 19th century, making serious topics engaging and lighthearted.
