Unknown compiler, but possibly organized by a women's group in the Kansas City area. Some of the cartoons have hand-written names and dates at the bottom: Mary O'Neal, "Mary's neighbor, Mrs. Barnett", Isabel H., Rose Ehrenfeld, Linda Harvey, Catherine, Opal, and Miss Auerbach. Occasional local cartoons and news items suggest the area, and a few newspaper banners identify the Kansas City Times, Kansas City Journal-Post, and Lawrence [Kan.] Daily Journal-World.
