...Lampoon figured prominently in a rash of satires and parodies of college life and faculty members which appeared between 1910 and 1930. All of these were printed privately at the authors' expense or by the boards of the Lampoon. For the most part, these little "cartoon and comment" books were of the same rather inferior quality and content as their recent relative--Gullible's Travels Through Harvard, which had microscopic success in Cambridge last winter. By far the best were two printed by the Lampoon writers...
...barbershop, in the family parlor and the public park, the British people voiced their sympathy, their shock, their approval, their disapproval, or their angry impatience at the whole affair. The circumstances were becoming familiar enough to permit a few small and very English jokes about it. In a Punch cartoon, an impressionable child thoughtfully counted the peas on her plate to the words, "Tinker, tailor, soldier, group captain."

Electoral officers plodded through the jungles to advertise the election with cartoon movies and singing pup pet shows. Sample song: "Let's all go there, brother, brother. Let's all go vote ... to be respected and defend the na tional state." At stake were 260 seats in a parliament that will govern Indonesia at least until year's end, when...
...Angeles Times managed a wry smile in a cartoon that showed Paul Chabas' famed September Morn adapted to local conditions (see cut). But smog had stopped being a joke. City health officials banned use of Los Angeles' millions of backyard incinerators, except on weekend mornings. If the smog got worse, they planned to shut down all refineries, possibly halt the sale of gasoline, to stop air contamination. But scientists are not sure just how the air is contaminated. While greyed-out Los Angeles was doing battle, a Minneapolis meeting of smog fighters from all over the U.S. suggested...
