What you’re looking at
This page contains multiple humor pieces typical of Judge's format. The top cartoon "PROBABLY HIS" depicts an art studio scene where a character discusses ancestry with another, making a joke about social pretension—the punchline suggests ancestors who were criminals or undesirable. The remaining sections are brief humorous anecdotes rather than political cartoons: "TO LEARN THE GAME" mocks golf terminology, "THE UNREMITTING TURK" jokes about Ottoman demands, "A NEW EYE-MEDICINE" concerns eye exams, "LIVELY FLOWERS" describes wildflowers, "HIS POSITION" plays on language skills, and "AN OLD GAME" makes a pun about gambling. These represent Judge's typical mix of domestic humor and wordplay rather than serious political satire.
