This comic appeared with an article by C.R. Greenaway about experts deriding old-fashioned grandmotherly advice about babies or children.
This illustration accompanied a story by Fred Griffin about the homeless sleeping at the police station to stay warm. This was before the Great Depression when “hobos” were less common. The “better ‘ole” is in reference to Bruce Bairnsfather’s famous “Better ‘Ole” comic from World War 1.
The above image is a card that would be handed out by Toronto Star Carriers to their subscribers. The red “V” on the carrier’s box would be for “Victory” so this card is likely from World War 2.
Below is a sample of one created by Jim for the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC).
