Produced by Joshua Hutchinson, Steve Schulze and PG Distributed Proofreaders "Punchinello, Volume 2, No. 31, October 29, 1870" is a humorous and satirical publication, likely produced during the late 19th century. The issue features a blend of original articles, illustrations, and witty commentary, creating a lively and entertaining snapshot of contemporary society and its quirks. The opening portion of this issue begins with a light-hearted adaptation of Charles Dickens’s “The Mystery of Edwin Drood," focusing on the comically chaotic character of Mr. Bumstead. Set in Bumsteadville, the narrative presents Mr. Bumstead, an organist, who finds himself in a muddled situation with his inebriated nephew and a forgotten umbrella. As he embarks on a quest to recall where he left the nephew, the scene unfolds with absurdities and ghostly encounters, adding layers of comedy to the plot. The opening effectively sets the tone for a humorous exploration of human folly interspersed with the supernatural.
