Mister Ron’s Basement # 1839
We have found some pretty funny stuff by Wisconsin humorist, publisher, and politician, George W. Peck, from his 1884 collection ‘Peck’s Boss Book.’
This story was probably controversial in 1884 for completely different reasons than it might be considered so today. It is called ‘The Female Husband.’
Time: approx six and a half minutes

Mister Ron’s Basement # 1830
We are beginning a NEW Monday Novel Serialization today with W. L. Alden’s 1888 book, ‘A New Robinson Crusoe.’
This is the story of a sailor who gets shipwrecked with Robinson Crusoe’s pain-in-the-neck Grandson, who wants to do everything the way his Grandfather did.
The first chapter is not as funny as the ones to come, but it is Chapter One, and nothing else will make sense until you’ve heard it, so here it is.

Time: approx fourteen and a half minutes
