Comments and Context
When Puck thought it had a good “gag,” it was allowed to burst from the black and white interior pages of text and social cartoons, and occupy the front page in glorious colors to attract eyes on newsstands. This pun, illustrated by Gallaway, is one such example. The cartoonist, in color and black and white work, interior and exterior pages, virtually never addressed political issues.
