I have just added some new post cards by Karaktus to the Crown Publishing Co, St Albans, page and the two illustrated here suggest that in the very early years of the 20th century a seat in one of the Victorian Public Parks was the place to go for a snog!
I am trying to identify all the comic cards Karaktus published - and ideally get good images of all. Can you help me fill in any of the gaps (titles in red are ones where I am looking for a better image).
01 It is better to have loved and lost, than to have loved and married

03 Expulsion from Eden
04 Everything in the garden is lovely!
05 The early bird catches the worm but the late bird catches it from the wife

10 Oh! Cheese It!
11 Money talks! but alas I'm speechless

23 The Old Bachelor's Wish - Oh Heavens! That clothes would but make the woman

25 ??26 Two pennyworth of dog biscuits, Please
27 Milkman - It looks very much like rain today
28 ??
29 I want you to see my girl
?? All Bachelors should be taxed £50 (probably one of the missing numbers)
In addition I have still made no progress in identifying Karaktus
