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:

Everett True objects to a man's use of perfume - wtf Ev?
Everett True discusses The War (WWI) with a neighbor - historically interesting, but not as relevant to today. some interesting articles on that newspaper page btw
Everett True wants service. Not bad, but E.T. comes off as a bit of a Karen. Also a case where newspaper damage to the cartoon would make it difficult to clean up

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).
