      Yeah, in 1909, I suppose this must have been such a common experience that this comic artist was fully confident that it would land.

      Old media is such a cool window into the past.

    There’s something cathartic about seeing a comic character enact over the top violence on someone representing our everyday annoyances and rude people.
