| Summary | "Punchinello, Volume 1, No. 21, August 20, 1870" by Various is an illustrated humorous and satirical weekly publication that reflects the tone and cultural context of the late 19th century. This installment contains a variety of comedic pieces, advertisements, and serialized narratives, showcasing the wit and social commentary typical of the era's periodicals. The opening of this issue sets the stage for a satirical take on Christmas Eve in Bumsteadville, where characters Montgomery Pendragon, Edwin Drood, and J. Bumstead are preparing for a dinner gathering. Each character demonstrates various quirks and humorous situations, from Pendragon's unnecessary physical exertion to Drood's musings on potential romantic entanglements. The narrative highlights the festivities of Christmas while poking fun at human foibles, social class distinctions, and the spirit of generosity that characterizes the season, all woven with lively dialogue and whimsical scenarios.
