Description | Single-panel comic strip shows a fat man (labeled "Snow Trust") demanding rent from Hubert-Hardluck, a small man (labeled "The Common People"), standing in the door of his igloo. The igloo sports a chimney, curtains, and an igloo doghouse for the dog. Hubert threatens to report him to the Housing Commission which "might pass a resolution next summer saying it ain't right." The fat man laughs, "Har, Har! All those investigators are jokes. Come across with yer rent." The rise of unfettered capitalism at the turn of the century inspired considerable criticism of the role of business monopolies known as trusts. Conflict between the trusts and ordinary people was a favorite Opper subject. |
