Annotations
- The long-lived satirical magazine Punch, in its nineteenth century heyday, employed a house cartoonist called "Phiz" (short for "Phizzog", a slang term for "face" derived from "physiognomy"). Punch was a patriotic British magazine which, while occasionally a source of embarrassment for British governments, soon became part of the Establishment. It faded and died in the late twentieth century under pressure from more genuinely satirical publications such as "Private Eye". Both the cartoon in the frontispiece of Monstrous Regiment and the general tone of the Ankh-Morpork Times are strongly reminiscent of the cartoon and written style of Punch in its Victorian heyday.
