Something New





Someone has said there’s nothing new
     Beneath the shining sun;
This statement is not wholly true,
     I know there is, for one.

It came to me this very day,
     And struck me rather hard;
Perhaps the same has come your way –
     Puck’s new rejection card.



Nov. 1st, 1901





Puck was the first successful humor magazine in the United States of colorful cartoons, caricatures and political satire of the issues of the day. It was published from 1871 until 1918. A collection of Puck cartoons dating from 1879 to 1903 is maintained by the Special Collections Research Center of The George Washington University.
