Dirk the Daring poses this question to us: “All I want to know is whether it was the dog that gave the warning or the wife that gave the warning.”

Income Tax Day
Will the Cops Set Up a Steakout?
JMcAndrew sends this in. Appeared April 24, 1943.
“Why is a raven like a writing desk?”

The New Yorker’s 100th Anniversary
This year marks the 100th anniversary of The New Yorker. In honor of that considerable accomplishment, we’re presenting all the cartoons that appeared in that first issue, February 21, 1925.

But we are seeing the entire two page centrefold, and the comparison is implicit. I’m posting the complete centrefold here because I’m not sure my link will work if you aren’t a New Yorker subscriber.
