What you’re looking at
This Judge magazine page contains three separate satirical pieces: **"Easily Remedied"** mocks women's suffrage concerns. A character argues women won't vote if given the right; the solution offered is placing a "bargain-counter" (department store sale) at polling places—implying women are so shallow they'd only show up for shopping deals. This reflects anti-suffrage stereotypes common before women gained voting rights. **"Never Grateful"** and **"Harbingers"** are brief jokes: the first about a husband upset his wife had a baby instead of twins; the second about minimal Christmas signs appearing (only elevator operators becoming polite). **"When Greek Meets Greek"** (bottom) appears to be a multi-panel comic story about a counterfeiter and highwayman encountering each other—the title suggests two criminals of equal cunning meeting, likely for comedic confrontation. The specific narrative is unclear from the partial panels visible, but it's clearly a crime-based humorous story. The page exemplifies Judge's style: political/social satire mixed with domestic humor and crime-based comedy strips.
