I think the first one is just that the cab driver's license picture is creepy looking.

The "cab" appears to be possibly a hearse.

I don’t get either one!

The first one: the cab driver's photo.

In the old days of Yellow Cabs, especially Checkers (which are large vehicles, and cavernous inside), it was rare to get a good look at the driver during any part of the ride, and cabbies were required to post their cab license information where the customer could easily read it.

The second one is more subtle..."Lord Calvert" is (or was) a real brand of bourbon. A Royal Name...for rotgut.

Solving all of life's problems through enhanced casting of Occam's Razor. Reward yourself with an imaginary chalice.

Mr. Boop really lost me at the beginning of Book 4 but I kind of came around after the whole "descent into obsession" thing. I've got mixed feelings about the ending and the whole project but it was something to check up on regularly in 2020.

In this installment of The Timid Soul (January 25, 1937), look at the buildings outside the window, look at the head of the match in Caspar's hand, and as always, look at the reflections beneath Caspar's feet.

Also, the concept that the building's sprinkler system is new. When were they first introduced? By 1937, they were common enough that Webster could reasonably anticipate his readership to understand...

They've been in use in the US since 1874. I'm not sure when they became common in office buildings, but I imagine it was sometime around the turn of the century.
