This magazine serves as a collection of political satire, humorous commentary, and caricatures, reflecting the social attitudes and issues of the time, particularly against the backdrop of the Great War. The content primarily discusses topics related to the war, societal changes, and various public figures, often employing wit and humor to critique and engage with the prevailing events of the day. This volume captures a variety of topical humor, including commentaries on military affairs, government decisions, and public sentiments regarding the war. The articles consist of humorous takes on the actions and perceived attitudes of political figures, soldiers, and civilians alike, often poking fun at misunderstandings and the absurdities arising from the war.
