This cartoon is from 1908.
This guy is freaking out because he's afraid his (totally hot) girlfriend is going to propose to him on February 29.
Slate has a fun/strange/disturbing retrospective of old time-y Leap Year cartoons here aptly titled "Crazy Old Postcards Showing Women Proposing to Men on Leap Year."
(Note: they're calling it Leap Year too... isn't that what we all used to call it, until people started saying "Leap Day" this year??)
I like the one with the demon redhead proposing to an entire roomful of men including the waiter.
ReplyDeleteThat *is* new, right? No one was saying "leap day" until this year, right! I knew it!
