"When Peter the Great visited Westminster Hall; he asked who were all those men in wigs and gowns. He was told that they were lawyers. 'There are but two lawyers in all my dominions, and I am going to hang one of them as soon as I get home.'" (punctuation added)
Deseret News, Vol. 1, No. 1, p. 7.
It seems that lawyers have not waned in "popularity" over the last 150 years. I guess that this could be considered the first "funnies" in the Deseret News.
