It primarily contained satire, caricature, and literary criticism, as well as various art from individuals such as Lou Skuce, Jimmy Frise, Lawson Wood, Jack Maclaren, Russ Fisher, Walter Schmidt, and Syd Law,[4] with other contributions by James Alexander Cowan (the first editor-in-chief) and Stephen Leacock.

The magazines initial price was 20 cents, but in 1925 its price would increase to 25 cents for the remainder of its publication.[5] The magazine ran until volume 9, issue 9, after which it was replaced with The New Goblin.[6]
