I'm not sure which part of this is better: the headline, or the photo illustration they came up with to accompany it

@jalefkowit Wait I thought this was an onion article, oh no

Now this has me thinking of the Composograph, a method of creating composite photographs that was used by the New York Evening Graphic in the 1920s to create images illustrating or satirizing current events or famous people

The Composograph image above is illustrating the 1926 Peaches and Daddy Browning scandal, in which 15-year-old actress Frances "Peaches" Heenan married, and then swiftly tried to divorce, 51-year-old real estate developer Edward West "Daddy" Browning. The Evening Graphic's coverage included allegations that Daddy kept a live goose in their bedroom.

"Daddy turned his attention to charity. Especially for children, and especially for the local chapter of the Phi Lambda Tau social sorority for high-school girls, of which he was the main benefactor. The sorority’s primary function was throwing dances across Manhattan for girls in scanty flapper dress, where Daddy, with his long, sagging face and steep W-collared dress shirts, smoked cigars and held court. And so it went that one night, inside the ballroom of the Hotel McAlpin on 34th and Broadway, Browning’s life intersected with Frances Heenan’s."

@jalefkowit Yeah, but what did it taste like.

@jalefkowit It's very good that they had representatives from the raccoon community at that press conference. And also that they hid their identity by letting them wear masks.
