    Amazing how today’s discourse for animal wellbeing sounds just like common sense when you read these comics. What the hell happened? We’ve been aware of the issue for that long and nothing changed?

    (The secret ingredient is money, I know)

      It was a cause celebre during this period. Mostly due to Upton Sinclair. https://www.history.com/news/upton-sinclair-the-jungle-us-food-safety-reforms

      I imagine there are some pretty problematic takes that just aren’t included here given the time frame.

      I say this as a fan of little nemo in slumberland from the same era.

      There is also a comic where he is against women suffrage as an example of the bad takes.
