This edition provides witty articles, funny pictures, and commentary on what was happening at the time. Using satire as its main weapon, the publication tackles everything from politics and current events to the day-to-day lives of regular people. You'll find exaggerated stories with strange characters and over-the-top plot twists, while other parts of the publication include comedic conversations and skits, like imagining a tax on dogs, alongside theater reviews and takes on social expectations. Each piece makes observations with a lighthearted tone, offering a peek into the funny world of late Victorian England.
