| Summary | "Punch, or the London Charivari, Volume 101, December 12, 1891" by Various is a humorous and satirical periodical publication written during the late 19th century. It showcases a collection of witty essays, political commentary, poems, illustrations, and short sketches that reflect the social and cultural issues of the time. The likely topics covered include politics, societal norms, and daily life in Victorian England, delivered with a comic twist aimed at entertaining its readers. The content of this particular volume features a playful letter addressed to Laziness, where the author, Diogenes Robinson, humorously reflects on his struggle with procrastination and the many duties he avoids. Various anecdotes and characters weave through the text, like the indolent barrister Figtree, who achieves great success despite his laziness, and political figures who are depicted in a comically critical light. Other sections include whimsical poetry and satirical commentary on contemporary life, such as the absurdity of public institutions and the struggles of common folk, all the while maintaining Punch's characteristic light-heartedness and irony.
