What you’re looking at
This page contains three separate humorous sketches rather than political cartoons: **"Very Much Next"** depicts children playing, with one boasting about being "next" in a game. **"Color-Blind"** is a brief comedic poem about a woman named Annabel who cannot distinguish colors properly, laughing when wearing only blue. **"Just So"** features a Northerner and Southerner discussing mint juleps as a regional drink. **"In the Aquarium"** shows a young boy's first visit to an aquarium with his mother discussing fish. **"The Exception"** briefly mentions exclusion from an actors' club. **"A Slight Delay"** depicts two actresses discussing a marriage announcement and reporters needing details—likely referring to theatrical gossip. The page is primarily light entertainment and social humor rather than political satire, typical of Judge's mixed content.
