"Woke historians won't stop talking about white supremacy!" The Houston Chronicle in 1905:

A cartoon of two tired, disheveled WW2 US soldiers sitting in a marsh. One says, "Joe, yestiddy ya saved my life an' I swore I'd pay ya back. Here's my last pair of dry socks."

A top down shot of a brown and yellow dog with his face and chest obscuring the rest of his body. Text: "He looks like we mounted him to the wall."

Poking around in an old yearbook and found this photo. Had to stop myself from dying laughing in the library. Plus ça change...
