'Clotted Rot was the name the early
Bulletin gave to the masses of light verse it used to publish. We have extended the term to cover the sketches, stories and cartoons of the period. ... This book aims to catch the quick-witted and good-humoured flavour of the early Bulletin ... from 1880, when the paper was founded, to around 1900. ...
Clotted Rot is an affectionate centenary souvenir of the
The Bulletin.' Source: Introduction.
