Harold Tucker Webster, a popular cartoonist for decades, did several features including "How to Torture Your Wife," "How to Torture Your Husband," "The Unseen Audience," and his most popular, The Timid Soul. Another of his popular panels was "The Thrill That Comes Once In a Lifetime." These panels, which spread over 30 years (the earliest one I could see was from 1916, the latest from 1947), bring a gentle and nostalgic look to America of the early Twentieth Century.
