Puck was a popular American humor magazine that was published from 1871 to 1918. It was known for its satirical cartoons, caricatures, and political commentary. Puck was founded by Joseph Keppler, an Austrian-born cartoonist, and his business partner Adolph Schwarzmann. The magazine's name was inspired by Shakespeare's character Puck from A Midsummer Night's Dream.

Puck initially focused on humor and satire, but it eventually evolved into a political magazine that commented on current events, social issues, and politics. The magazine was critical of political corruption, the excesses of big business, and social inequality. Puck's cartoons and caricatures were famous for their sharp wit and biting commentary.

The magazine had a significant impact on American politics and culture during its run. Its cartoons and illustrations helped shape public opinion and influenced the way Americans viewed politicians and public figures. Some of the most famous cartoonists who contributed to Puck include Frederick Opper, Louis Dalrymple, and Bernhard Gillam.
