What you’re looking at
This page contains multiple brief satirical cartoons and jokes typical of Judge's humor: **"So Like Ikey"** mocks Jewish immigrants through dialect humor, depicting someone named Ikey changing from one business to another (the "under-hand-clothing peesness"). **"Deadly Perils"** is a mild joke about a general's romantic misadventure with a widow. **"Who He Was"** satirizes patent medicine quacks—a man travels claiming ill health while actually profiting from selling a fake cure-all called "Ne Plus Ultra." **"The Church and the World"** uses Irish and Jewish stereotypes (Gussie O'Brien, Father Malony, Ikey) in religious humor. **"A Boston Girl's Criticism"** gently mocks overly pedantic literary criticism based on visual appearance rather than sound. The remaining sketches employ similar light domestic humor and ethnic stereotyping common to the era. The page reflects Judge's reliance on crude caricature and dialect-based comedy targeting immigrants.
