The Merry Thought and Scraps.
As well as comics I like humour magazines especially from the Victorian/Edwardian era. Here is a nice colour title. It had a few internal pages in full colour as well.

I noticed the captions on the cartoons from inside the mag were unreadable submitted at forum size so here they are in actual size. Quaint humour a million miles from Viz etc.

Re: The Merry Thought and Scraps.
Somehow you double posted this Steve. Would it be possible to delete the other thread? EDIT: Somebody's dealt with it I see.
Anyway, good find, I didn't know comics had full colour front covers 99 years ago (especially not one aimed at adults)! Thought that didn't happen until the 1920s.

Yes, in one cartoon there is a gentleman at the opera with two young ladies, he's not watching the opera he's sitting behind them enjoying the view of their backless dresses.Lew Stringer wrote:'Pon my soul! That young lady on the beach is showing her ankles!

Re: The Merry Thought and Scraps.
What about that Algy fellow!?
Not only is he a letch (the way he looked at Angelina's bottom when she leaves after their quarrel).
But then he goes after what he perceives is another woman (at this point, I would question either his commitment to Angelina or his intelligence (since a simple mask stopped him from recognising her)).
But I do like the way the cad smoothly reacted when he found out who the mystery woman was.
An utter cad and not someone you want to tally with your daughter (unless he is loaded of course
).
