Printed 104 years ago today in The West Virginian. Image slightly cleaned up, see the original.

Found on the Library of Congress site. Feel free to post something yourself!

I disapprove of Mrs True's use of violence here, but I think it's good to occasionally post some of these cartoons that are more dated, for the same reasons as the earlier post about selection bias. See also these other cartoons that came out on the same day over the years:

The cartoon selected above is also a bit tougher to clean up, and I didn't spend that much time on it. The newspaper page it was on was pretty damaged. There are some very interesting articles on that page though, including "Bolshevists Plan Unique Monument", "German Intrigue in Bomb Plot", and a bunch of ads and classifieds (which are always fun).
