Commencement Day in the Senate: A Humorous Take by Puck This cartoon print, titled "Commencement Day in the Senate," is a humorous and insightful work by the renowned political satirist Puck. The image, published in a late 19th-century magazine, offers a witty commentary on the ceremonial traditions and inner workings of the United States Senate. The scene is set in the hallowed halls of the Senate Chamber, where a procession of senators, dressed in their formal regalia, file in for the commencement of a new legislative session. Each senator carries a large, ornate scroll, symbolizing the weighty responsibilities and important legislation they will be handling in the coming months. In the foreground, a group of senators, led by the Senate President, stand at the podium, ready to deliver their opening remarks. The atmosphere is formal and solemn, with the heavy drapes, ornate furnishings, and grand architecture of the Senate Chamber serving as a backdrop. However, the true essence of this cartoon lies in the subtle satire and humor that Puck weaves into the image. In the background, a mischievous senator is seen sneaking a peek at a newspaper, while another is dozing off, his head nodding in slumber. A third senator, with a sly grin, is seen passing a note to his neighbor. These small details serve to poke fun at the perceived inefficiencies and distractions that can sometimes plague the halls of Congress. Overall, this "Commencement Day in the Senate" print by Puck is a delightful and insightful piece of political satire, offering a humorous yet thought-provoking commentary on the inner workings of the United States Senate during a time of great change and transformation.
