Outhouses were still common in the 50’s in the midwest. Some of my friends—who went to country schools—had never used an indoor restroom tip they got to high school. And toilet paper was considered a luxury — the weekly newspaper was always left by the ‘seat’. Maybe this is where the phrase ‘yellow journalism’ started. . . and why some people view newspapers as cr@p.
I have always questioned: IF “god” knows all and sees all from the beginning of time to the end of eternity, and “he” knew that we’d end up as we are now, WHY BOTHER??
Given that much of the discussion has devolved into construction, a personal story
My wife and I were hiking on the Bruce Trail north of Toronto. A section of trail followed a road with old stately houses with fancy brick work and gingerbread trim. The houses all had outhouses made of matching brickwork and gingerbread trim. I always wanted to go back and photograph them and publish a book of glossy pictures titled " Brick S***houses"

Somewhere, somebody is trying to expand the newspaper image to read the scribble . . .

Obviously this is a clothing optional outhouse.

Comment is correct. Evolution is an every evolving process with no ‘end’ in sight.

At Girl Scout camp we had outhouses until the floor broke. The next year we had real bathrooms with concrete floors and even a shower.

Looking at the Human, looks like coffee, and a news paper, evolved at just the right moment.

Never read or think while you’re sitting on the john. You should be emptying your mind.

Anybody able to winkle out the newspaper headline? Be interesting to see what he was going to use for ‘reading’ matter.

People will be scrambling for years to come to eke out the “hidden words” in Wiley’s ’toons.
This could bump up his “hit” count what with all the people from the newspapers that dropped him having to go elsewhere to see for themselves.
