The newspaper-format journal was innovative in combining entertaining stories and puzzles with large cartoons. These were often satirical in tone, with some by , known as Puck, and some from German and French sources. It was aimed at an adult lower middle-class audience, rather than at children, and benefitted from innovations in the use of cheap paper and photo-zincography printing. One of the contributors to the journal was Alfred Harmsworth, who launched his own Comic Cuts a few years later. (en)
