Did Your Lodge Have One of Those Nights?

Frederick Opper was known for his Happy Hooligan cartoons a century ago. The comic's name underwent a number of name changes. At one time, the Sunday full-page strip was called "Down on the Farm."

Here is his Sunday (Saturday in Canada) strip for the weekend of May 6-7, 1922. The satiristic fraternal group featured in this one has plumed hats like the American Knights Templar. I don't know if Opper was a Mason, but the scenario here is amusing.
