Printed 108 years ago today in the Tacoma Times. Edited out a bit of noise; see the original.

Found on the Library of Congress site.

That's what these are called!! Thank you, my family had one when I was a kid and I had no idea what to refer to it as.

In case you're curious, the one in the picture I posted is in the art nouveau style but the one in the comic looks more like arts-and-crafts.

Note the floral decorations versus the simple geometric shapes.
