You May Be Straight But You Don't Look It

"You may be straight but you don't 'look it.'"
A postcard addressed on the other side to Mr. Oscar Donaven, Mt. Joy, Lancaster Co., Pa., and postmarked in Philadelphia in 1907.
This postcard features a punning illustration of an apoplectic fellow who doesn't "look straight" because he's cross-eyed, of course.
Mark Newgarden, a cartoonist who was one of the creators of the Garbage Pail Kids, used this card--with an added imitation fly pin on the guy's nose--for the cover of his book, Cheap Laffs: The Art of the Novelty Item (Harry N. Abrams, 2004). If you have the slightest interest in the origin and history of fake vomit, whoopee cushions, and joy buzzers, then you've got to track down a copy of this amazingly amusing book.
