Lets start by examining some of the underlying themes of where the name Puck is derived from.
- Puck Magazine The name "Puckish" itself became a byword for mischievousness, harkening back to the Shakespearean character Puck,
- a charming, near-naked boy. It was the perfect name for a magazine that took great delight in poking fun at the powers-that-be.
- no issue was too taboo for 'Puck' to tackle
- Puck's front and back covers featured a colorful, jaunty putto admiring himself in a hand mirror, a symbol that also graced the entrance of the Puck Building in New York's Nolita neighborhood.
- The cover always quoted Puck saying, "What fools these mortals be!", a fitting phrase for a magazine that found humor in the political and social absurdities of its time.
- WikiPedia [white washing with 1/2 truths] has some interesting wordage about the Puck Magazine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puck_(magazine)
- "Puckish" means "childishly mischievous". This led Shakespeare's Puck character (from A Midsummer Night's Dream) to be recast as a charming near-naked boy and used as the title of the magazine.
- The jaunty symbol of Puck is conceived as a putto in a top hat who admires himself in a hand-mirror
- The cover always quoted Puck saying, "What fools these mortals be!" The jaunty symbol of Puck is conceived as a putto in a top hat who admires himself in a hand-mirror. He appears not only on the magazine covers but over the entrance to the Puck Building in New York's Nolita neighborhood, where the magazine was published, as well.

1/2 Truths by Wikipedia- here is where the line is blurred- intentionally or not.
A winged "cherub" I have always associated with Angelic Figures. When its plainly seen that the original Puck symbolism are not angelic at all. A mischievous Puck (Putto) is opposite of what Angels are all about and they are never pictured with wings.

1/2 Truths by Wikipedia- here is where the line is blurred- intentionally or not.
- "Richly illustrated, edifying and expertly curated...[a] mesmerizing compendium of full-color political caricature." - The Wall Street Journal
"Many of Puck's issues remain bang up to date, if sometimes mutated." - The Daily Beast
"What Fools These Mortals Be!," is a glorious compilation of some of the magazine's best cartoons of a distinctly (wait for it) puckish nature. IDW Publishing, along with Dean Mullaney's Library of American Comics, have produced yet another brilliant volume that deserves to be lovingly displayed on bookshelves and coffee tables." - The Washington Times
A lavish coffee table book devoted to the most important political satire and cartoon magazine in American history. Published from 1877 to 1918, Puck was regularly a major political battleground and is credited with single-handedly thwarting the third-term ambitions of Ulysses Grant in 1880 and electing Grover Cleveland to the presidency in 1884. Puck did it with art - lavish, color, full-page and two-page centerspread cartoons. It was the first American magazine to publish color lithographs on a weekly basis and, for nearly forty years, was a training ground and showcase for some of the country's most talented cartoonists, led by its co-founder, Joseph Keppler.
This retrospective contains nearly 300 full-color plates. Forward by Bill Watterson of Calvin & Hobbes fame!

What's a 200 YEAR CONSPIRACY if we don't tie it into a very old, mysterious, and suspicious St.Louis Missouri event called the St Louis Veiled Prophet Parade?
