This woman's happy face looks odd for some reason. Not sure why. But her name was Bertha, so maybe that has something to do with it. She is planning something, she is going to do something tricky, I just know it!
The danger of cigarettes have led to most modern depiction being quite evil. But to have a fair and balanced representation of clipart, it's important to have a happy smoker too I guess. Or maybe that is reefer and not a cigarette? That would explain the bloody grin.
Every girl needs her very own sea monster. This girl has hers. And for the era she is from, that is a scandalously short dress. It must be a bathing suit. I suppose that makes sense, sense this is a sea monster. Sea monsters dont really live in the forest after all, but I suppose they could live in a lake. Although in that case I think they would be named Lake Monster which is a whole other thing. Oh balderdash, this description is a bit wonky.
Trumpets. Sure. Yeah, I am calling these trumpets so that I don't hurt the memory of your ancestors. Those don't look like trumpets to me. They look like vuvuzelas, those things that were being used in South Africa at the last world cup. Those things everyone hated so much. Is this archeological evidence that in 1898 they also used vuvuzelas? Maybe vuvuzelas have always been with us, in some way.
