caption: "What are you laughing about? I was just thinking if the Missus saw us." note: the same image ran earlier in L'Assiette au Beurre, c. 1901. The practice of one image reprinted in a number of different journals over time was not unusual. Puck and Le Rire also ran images that initially appeared in Simplicissimus.
