Interesting Record: MacPunch, or the Scottish Charivari

The magazine took a satirical view. 

"In general appearance this comic journal recalled its model...'Mr. Macpunch will on all occasions be an arrant foe to humbug whether in the shape of measuring out figures with an ell wand or calculating the cubic contents of railway advertisements'. It took a sturdy part in politics on the conservative side...[but] on the whole its art was very poor” (Couper).
