'A Turkey's Dream of Christmas'

From The Vegetarian Messenger and Health Review (December 1933) ~ original source of cartoon unknown

'Staunch'

Punch magazine enjoyed vegetarian ideals from the earliest days of the Vegetarian Society in Britain. Mostly secular, and not always completely scathing their take on matters occasionally touched upon religious scenarios of sorts.
