Is.....is he suggesting that mothers of boys (who at that age will ALWAYS be messy) shouldn't be able to vote because the boy is not clean 24/7???

Guess it's easy to judge when there are no childhood photos of you at that age, because cameras hadn't yet been invented!

The comic is suggesting that suffragettes were letting their home "duties" go unfulfilled as they attempted to participate in politics.

Well cameras did exist, just not digital cameras (because modern computers with files didn't exist)

Everett True is over 50. It was rare to get one's photo taken around 1860 unless there was a special occasion because photosensitive glass plates were fiddly.
