Someone asked about the context of the TAD cartoon in which "Duck Soup" first appeared.
According to Leonard Zwilling, A TAD Lexicon, (publ. by Gerry Cohen in 1993,) it illustrated a cartoon captioned "In the Police Court", showing a man "juggling a bottle, pitcher, plate and salt shaker" with the words "Duck soup". Original source was the Sazn Francisco Bulletin, July 5, 1902.
