What you’re looking at

This page contains two satirical cartoons addressing social behavior and morality. **"NO SIN"** (top): Shows two working-class figures amid domestic chaos—broken furniture, fighting animals, debris. The dialogue suggests a couple rationalizing misbehavior, with one character claiming their actions aren't sinful. The satire mocks the rationalization of immoral conduct among lower classes. **"THEIR ONLY RESOURCE"** (bottom): Depicts what appears to be a working-class family in a cramped domestic setting. A man in a top hat (possibly a social worker, landlord, or official) confronts the residents. The caption suggests exploiting a family's desperation—using poverty as leverage for some inappropriate demand. Both cartoons critique either moral hypocrisy or the exploitation of economically vulnerable people, reflecting Judge magazine's tendency toward both class commentary and moral social criticism in the early 20th century.
