The caption, written in heavy dialect and asking what name a child has been given, sets this drawing apart from other cartoons of its time. It was published on April 27, 1922, in *Life*, the American humor weekly founded in 1883, and it is an ink-over-pencil drawing on bristol board, which artists of the period used for magazine reproduction. Its phonetic speech reflects the racial caricature common in American popular humor of the early twentieth century, and modern viewers often read such jokes as much for their stereotypes as for their punch lines.
