The cigar band fiend
Vignettes depict the craze for cigar bands and the various ways in which they can be used to celebrate special occasions, such as getting married, the birth of a child, a holiday turkey dinner, on clothing to identify a family, as collectibles, and as a closure for a coffin. Caption: Dedicated to the gent who smokes ’em with the belts on.
Comments and Context
As Puck magazine’s color centerspreads were increasingly given over to humorous cartoons, usually vignettes of commentary on a social, not political, issue of the day, the three cartoonists usually handling the assignments were S. D. Ehrhart, L. M. Glackens, and J. S Pughe.
