The Curious Tales Of McGirth And Skinnan Bones

A humorous verse sketch contrasts O G McGirth a 300 pound man who shakes buses with his gait and Skinnan Bones a 90 pound eater who oddly gains little as McGirths appetite grows. The piece blends jokes and quips with brief captions and maxims from a late 19th or early 20th century style newspaper page.
