    There was a time when memes were just dudes fighting snails in the margins of medieval manuscripts.

          I remembered your request and have finally found some semblance of a source.

            Hey, thanks for coming back to this!

            That seems wrong, unfortunately. It was a weekly magazine, and there was a May 25 edition that year (which also doesn’t contain it).

            Flipping through was totally worth it for the early Churchill stuff, the ominous commentary on how cool getting reparations from Germany is going, the article satirising Henry Ford’s promise to make horses obsolete, and the 1/3 of cartoons I completely didn’t understand, amongst other things. The HFT in the corner of this cartoon might be a hint if someone else were to try, but no artist immediately presents themselves.

          The past.

          Sorry I’m not more helpful.
