Cartoon gag featuring a wife unexpected arrival interrupting her husbands stag party. The boys try to hide the liquor and clean up their language.

Thomas Aloysius "Tad" Dorgan (April 29, 1877 – May 2, 1929) was an Irish American cartoonist. He is known for his cartoon panel Indoor Sports and comic strip Judge Rummy, as well as the many English words and expressions he coined or popularized.
He created his first comic strip, Johnny Wise, for the San Francisco Chronicle in 1902.
Dorgan is generally credited with either creating or popularizing such words and expressions as "dumbbell" (a stupid person); "for crying out loud" (an exclamation of astonishment); "cat's meow" and "cat's pajamas" (as superlatives); "applesauce" (nonsense); "cheaters" (eyeglasses); "skimmer" (a hat); "hard-boiled" (tough and unsentimental); "drugstore cowboy" (a loafer or ladies' man); "nickel-nurser" (a miser); "as busy as a one-armed paperhanger" (overworked); and "Yes, we have no bananas".

Now you you may be asking yourself - why did you get this one piece of art, Miki?
Well, besides the fact that it is the oldest piece of art I own, there is the fact that it was published on November 5th which happens to be today and also my birthday.
