Summary

"Punch, or the London Charivari, Vol. 150, March 15, 1916" by Various, is a humorous magazine filled with satire from the World War I era. The writings and cartoons reflect how people in Britain viewed the war, making light of events, decisions made by the government, and feelings of the public at the time. This collection uses jokes and satire on a range of subjects, such as war happenings, how healthy people were during the war, what people were eating, weird habits of public figures, and more. These articles also tease subjects like when the military failed, everyone's feelings during the war, and how silly life could be during such a hard period. Various writings pair social opinions with funny stories showing how humor relieved stress and allowed people room to give commentary on war.
