"One for all, and all for one!"

Today marks 125 years since the start of the newsboy strike against The World and The Journal! Here's my revamped version of the strike picture that I made last year!

Last year's version and which newsie is which under the cut 🗞🪧👞

Albert: ‘They’ll never find the body’ is such a boring threat, a better threat would be ‘they’ll never stop finding the body’

Crutchie, bored: Or just say ‘they’ll be finding parts of you for at least 4 months, and you’ll still be alive for 3 of them’

Race: Now that’s a threat!

Davey, covering Les’s ears: *horrified silence*

Was at the clinic waiting to get a vaccine and I just had to

[crystaltreebee]

so in the 1890s dating language was a lot different from today…

so the newsies could say they were going on dates… but it would more likely be referred to as a public courtship.

and the terms Boyfriend and Girlfriend wouldn’t exist until the 1910-20s but they did have

beau- male partner /boyfriend (pronounced bow)

belle- female partner /girlfriend

unfortunately there’s no gender neutral because uh pre modern era and all, but I think Partner or Courted would work

Other common pet names include: angel, baby, beloved, darling, dear, dearest, honey, heart, love, lover, precious, sweetheart, treasure

The Newsies

[exxantier-art]

“haha wdym newsies has fish symbolism and it’s important” LISTEN. when Jacobi says “who says water isn’t important? just ask a fish… in the desert.” what does a desert notoriously lack? water. what does a fish notoriously need? WATER. but where do the newsies come in, you ask? these kids are being made to survive in an environment that isn’t giving them what they need to survive. doesn’t that sound familiar? ALSO, in CTB when buttons goes “we’s as free as fishes”— this enforces the fish metaphor. fish also travel in schools- similarly to how the newsies rely on each other to survive.

that’s pretty much it, thank you for listening to my rant
