Judge — March 25, 1905 — page 3: what you’re looking at
What you’re looking at
The page contains two distinct sections: **"His First Electric Button"** (top): A satirical cartoon about a naive New York politician discovering the electric doorbell at Uncle Cornelius Jim's residence. The joke mocks rural or unsophisticated newcomers unfamiliar with modern technology—a common theme in turn-of-century American humor. **"Heroic Adventures of Professor Hypnot"** (bottom): A four-panel comic strip featuring a charlatan hypnotist attempting to control a serpent, which instead wraps around him in increasingly chaotic ways. The final panel's caption jokes about the snake remaining "shy" despite hypnotic attempts. This satirizes fraudulent "professors" and pseudo-scientific practitioners popular in the era. Both reflect Judge's satirical approach to contemporary absurdities and social pretension.
