Wish You Were Here, from J.R. Williams
An Out Our Way cartoon by J.R. Williams graces this postcard issued by Standley-May, coded as Series 1 W590. I had never heard of vinegarroons, though they are supposedly native to Florida where I lived for many years. Seeing what these creatures look like, I'm very happy never to have had the pleasure of one's acquaintance.
Perhaps even more stomach-churning, though, is the life cycle of the heel fly.

"Fluffy Ruffles" was an early comic strip about a working woman; it was a big sensation at the time and "Fluffy Ruffle" became a slang term for a young woman. In other words, he's calling the tenderfoot a girl.
