Judge — February 22, 1902 — page 4: what you’re looking at
What you’re looking at
This page contains several humorous items rather than a focused political cartoon. **"Judge's Favorites"** praises Dorgia Waldron, likely a contemporary actress or socialite, using flowery romantic verse. **"The S.K.'s Joy"** appears to reference Prince Henry (unclear which historical figure), celebrating his return to sea with patriotic imagery. **"The Woman of It"** is a brief comedy sketch about a postal clerk and woman debating postage on an overweight letter—domestic humor with no political significance. **Other sketches** include "A Hunting Term," "The Mean Thing," and "A Grinding Question"—all short, light jokes about daily life. **"Another Ambush"** shows cavalry soldiers, likely satirizing military incompetence or confusion. The page prioritizes entertainment and social commentary over serious political satire, mixing verse, sketches, and illustrations typical of Judge's lighter content.
