I don't recognize these comics, but they are trying to be funny. My favorite bitis on the right side of the front shirt, where the elephant says "I painted that in my Sleep?" but the "S" is blurry so it looks like "Bleep."

The printing plants of early Dakota newspapers were slow, but portable. Skilled typesetters put metal letters into a composing stick, and then placed the set lines of type in galleys, from which proofs were made. After proof reading and corrections, each page was made up and locked into a form. The printer rolled ink over the form, put a piece of paper on top, and pulled down the lever to print one side.
