    This is an interesting one. This is like, the one aspect of 1920s culture I knew about before discovering this site and this comic, thanks to having to read Mr. F Scott Fitzgerald in high school.

    What’s interesting is I can’t quite tell if Briggs is being straight up critical of the older women, complaining about those yutes. I *think* he is, based on their young charge looking at the fashionistas, but that girls expression is a bit weakly drawn and so,also a bit inscrutable. Is she also scowling? Or is she looking on wistfully, out of the sight line of her older companions?Report
