Burlesque was a popular form of live entertainment in the decades around the turn of the 19th century, consisting of various forms of humour and ribaldry. Several well-known comedians got their starts in the burlesque circuits of the USA: W.C. Fields, Abott and Costello, Milton Berle, Bob Hope. Burlesque may be better known for more or less titillating forms of dancing and strip tease by female performers though.

I'm trying to remember how I did that text in the last panel. It looks like a pure Photoshop job, though it's the sort of thing that I would print out and physically include in the set.

Maybe I made the sign in Photoshop and printed it out... Nah. It really looks like straight Photoshop after the fact.
