"Punch, or the London Charivari, Volume 93, December 31, 1887" by Various is a satirical periodical that was published during the late 19th century. This volume of "Punch" captures the social and political commentary reflecting the humor and wit characteristic of Victorian-era literature. The topics often touch upon contemporary events, theatrical performances, and societal norms, delivered in a humorous and critical tone. In this particular edition, the content revolves around various sketches,
plays, and societal observations, often playing with the absurdity of human behavior and historical references. For instance, the piece "Another 'Butler; or, A Thorne in His Side" humorously critiques the plotting of a theatrical production while reflecting on the various character motivations. Additionally, the volume features dialogues highlighting humor found in everyday encounters, such as the interactions between musicians at a children’s party and an amusing letter penned to a distinguished individual.
