Everett True's foul neighbor (October 5, 1915)
(lemmy.world)
Printed 109 years ago today in The Seattle Star. Image brightness/contrast and sharpness slightly modified; see the original.
Found on the Library of Congress site.
I dunno, a shovel to the back of the head could easily kill someone.
I thought this was an interesting cartoon because Everett isn't objecting to the corporal punishment, but to the hypocrisy of the neighbor.
Back then, hitting your kid with a stick was considered good parenting. Nowadays, hitting your kid is illegal in much of Europe and Latin America.
