Your Sunday Funnies: Petting Patty

We’re not sure if we love this comic strip, or if we just love the idea that in 1929 there was a comic strip with this scandalous title. Maybe no one at the paper understood it. Maybe everyone was much more open minded during the Jazz Age than we might imagine.

Jefferson Machamer, the strip’s writer, became an artist of some note, although he never penned a truly successful and long-running comic strip.

In our last episode, a jealous Patty traveled to a seaside resort called “Soak-You-on-Sea” to check up on her boyfriend, Peter, who’s working as a waiter there. Now you’re all caught up!

Your Sunday Jazz Age Funnies: Boob McNutt, from 1926

Are you tired of election coverage? Whether you are a Trump supporter or a Biden supporter, or a “pox on all your houses” kind of person, we welcome you to Audere.

We think maybe it is the time to sit down and relax with a stupid comic strip from almost a hundred years ago — from an era when the nation had recently recovered from a terrible plague and a fraught politics, and was enjoying a wild expansion and some great parties.

So here is Rube Goldberg’s “Boob McNutt,” the second worst name for a comic strip (after “Boner’s Ark”), about a regular guy in the Jazz Age, with an oddly gorgeous flapper wife.
