back in the haselden pits

so there's this old cartoonist i like, WK Haselden right? bit of a born curmudgeon, if you've ever seen those old vintage comics that are like "damn these modern women things used to be better in the 80s! the 1880s that is!!!" thats usually a haselden, maud of the 80s vs gladys of today etc

im forever FASCINATED at all the slice o life satire cartoons he does bc there's like, the regular shit to be grumpy (flappers driving cars, ladies hats are too big etc) about but there's also comics of fads that i could not BEGIN to fathom what it woulda been like to live through them through the eyes of this one dude like

?? was there a live meat/game meat trend in 1906??

this one's captioned "bull fighting up to date" like ????? was there a safety craze amongst bullfighters in '06???

i... i guess this one's mocking vaudeville??? like variety acts where you do a bunch of wild bullshit whilst playing an instrument perhaps?? tf was up in 1921??

man i didnt realize ping pong was such a thing of contention in..... 1922??

#1900s #comics #art #relatable memes #memes #art memes #interesting #pocket phone #cellphones #relatable #I have my routine set to silence my phone most of the day now. It just gets so tiring. #not trying to demonise phones or tech progress #it’s convenient and increases safety but I’m just tired of the extra work that I have to do from looking at my phone #so now I just tell anyone who asks that my phone is on silent so I didn’t read the text or the email or whatever
