Delightful.
A quick glance at 1920 doesn’t have any names that jump out at me as being obvious landmarks…Report
I think ‘likker’ equals ‘liquor’ and they’re discussing the National Prohibition cases.

OH I MISSED THAT!
Thank you!Report
I know there’s been other Briggs comics that winked and nudged at Volstead act violations. And a review before this posting this comment some very direct criticism of prohibition (as well as …. Some other social commentary)
But I do still wonder (and probably mused in these comments before) how much Briggs or anyone else had latitude to directly come out against prohibition. Especially as the twenties rolled on . (It’s notable that these two, which are most explicitly straightforward anti prohibition comics that I’m aware of are each from 1920, when all of this Noble Experiment was still fresh)
Edit link above is being weird here’s what it’s supposed to be before time runs out
