What you’re looking at

This page contains two satirical cartoons about early automobile culture: **Top cartoon**: A pedestrian confronts a motorist after a collision, demanding "Whatsa matter? Can'tcha figure me out?" The satire targets both reckless drivers and the confusion caused by automobiles entering streets previously shared only with pedestrians and horse-drawn vehicles. **Bottom cartoon**: Titled "Oh, heck! I love him—there's the phone!" depicts a woman apparently discovering her suitor kissing another woman. The satire likely mocks the chaos caused by early telephone communication, suggesting the technology enables awkward romantic confrontations or complications. Both cartoons reflect early 20th-century anxieties about modern technology disrupting traditional social order and domestic life.
