Summary

"Punch, or the London Charivari, Volume 99, November 29, 1890" by Various is a periodical packed with jokes, poems, and opinions that reflect the late 1800s in England. It uses comedy to discuss social issues and politics while also examining normal, everyday life. One story follows Jonnie Dombey and his mom as they deal with stuck-up people at a fancy French school, hilariously pointing out differences in social class. Also, there are mocking jokes about things like the army being disorganized, what society expects from people, and how silly humans can be. Everything, from the writing to the drawings, is geared to make people laugh and think about life back then.
