Some interesting articles on the page where this cartoon appeared:
- an editorial on Charles Morse, who was a convicted swindler. Fun fact: he was eventually imprisoned and shared a cell with Charles Ponzi, before tricking his way out of jail.
- “Our Romantic Vegetables”
- A story about Robert Peary disparaging Frederick Cook’s claim to be the first person to reach the North Pole.
- A diplomatic incident in which the American ambassador to China had to be dismissed
