What you’re looking at

This page from *Judge* magazine contains two cartoons satirizing holiday pay practices. The top image appears to show a globe or world, likely representing broad economic systems or international commerce. The bottom cartoon depicts what seems to be a worker or laborer with a sign reading "NO BIS PAID ON HOLIDAYS" — a clear critique of employers who refused to pay workers extra compensation or bonuses during holiday periods. The figure's posture and presentation suggest frustration or complaint about this labor practice. The satire targets the tension between workers' expectations for fair holiday compensation and employers' reluctance to provide it — a common labor dispute during the early-to-mid 20th century when *Judge* was published. The cartoon likely advocated for workers' rights to holiday pay.
