Not only am I looking for better stuff to post, I'm looking for new areas to snark on. This time, it's some selections from the Pictorial Encyclopedia of American History, a multi-volume set published in 1966. I know it's a slight departure, but I thought the illustrations were laughable enough to snark on. What say my adoring public?

Do you have any old copies of "My Weekly Reader"? I bet there's a gold mine of stuff in some of those old publications.
