Printed 109 years ago today in The Tacoma Times. Image cleaned up, see the original. (Lamentably, that page also has a racist caricature on it.)
Found on the Library of Congress site. Feel free to pick a cartoon and post it yourself!
Can’t have shit in Tacoma
People used to go way harder on Halloween pranks, apparently.
Oh boy did they ever. Tearing up fences and burning them, stealing produce out of fields and throwing it at houses, barricading all the adults inside their houses so they couldn’t ruin the fun…
Tasting History did a pretty interesting video on it, actually.
this time we’re reading the damn newspaper
KILLS 75 TURKS BEFORE HE DIES LONDON, Oct. 30.—Sergeant Martin O’Connor of the Sixth Lancashire regiment Is declared to have killed 75 Turks, before meeting his own death from a bomb at Galllpoli
Nice try O’Connor, but “Operation get behind the Aussies” is sure to fail.
Fumbled some tabs and thought this was about Primus’s drummer.
