The text on "scrapbook" pages can be very difficult to read. One possible workaround is to right-click on a page to open it in a new tab, then zoom the image on that tab.

Humor scrapbook, part II
This is the second of what will eventually be ten weekly posts with
material from my old "humor" scrapbook. The content varies from
priceless to junky (especially in the case of humor, which often doesn't
age well), but there's no time to sort things out or curate the
content (which may include material from the 1970s that would be "politically incorrect" nowadays).

Humor scrapbook, part I
Before there were blogs, there were scrapbooks. Like many people in
the pre-internet era, I saved clippings of interesting or humorous items in
envelopes and folders and desk drawers, and eventually transferred them
into "magnetic" photo albums. Now I've reached the "downsizing" phase
of my life, and have to decide what to do with the material. I don't want to drag the albums around with me
forever, but some of the material is too good to just throw in the
dumpster.
So, I'm scanning the pages into TYWKIWDBI. This is the first of what will eventually be ten weekly posts with material from my old "humor" scrapbook. The content varies from priceless to junky (especially in the case of humor, which often doesn't age well), but there's no time to sort things out or curate the content (and in any case, old "magnetic" photo albums don't lend themselves to the rearranging of paper content, which starts to shred when you try to remove or rearrange it.)
The text on all the types of "scrapbook" pages can be very difficult to read. One possible workaround is to right-click on a page to open it in a new tab, then zoom the image on that tab.

Reposted from 2020 because we're even more in need of humor than we were five years ago.

Humor scrapbook, part X
This is the final installment of
material from my old "humor" scrapbook. The content varies from
priceless to junky (especially the case with humor, which often doesn't
age well), but there's no time to sort things out or curate the
content (which may include material from the 1970s that would be "politically incorrect" nowadays). This grouping includes some of my old favorites, including the continental drift cartoon.
