The overarching theme of the book involves a humorous take on contemporary issues, reflecting public sentiments and cultural attitudes of its era. This issue prominently features "The Mystery of Mr. E. Drood," a comedic adaptation by Orpheus C. Kerr, alongside various other humorous articles, parodies, and commentary on societal topics, including education, politics, and everyday life.
