Indexer Notes

A selection of humourous cartoons and jokes. Most of the cartoons are signed, the jokes are uncredited. I am uncertain as to whether the back cover and inside back cover are part of this listing but I have included them as the two pages are untitled and there is nothing to officially separate them.
