This anthology is a further selection of humour from the London weekly Punch: short prose, verse, and cartoons drawn from the magazine's long run. Typical pieces mock Parliament, clubs, family life, sport, holidays, and the fashions of successive decades, with signed contributions from writers such as P. G. Wodehouse, Graham Greene, Kingsley Amis, and others alongside draughtsmen including Leech, Fougasse, Thelwell, and Hoffnung. The arrangement is a miscellany rather than a history of the paper. There is no continuous plot. The book is a comic reader of Punch's jokes and drawings, not a single author's work.
