What you’re looking at
This page contains satirical commentary and verse rather than political cartoons. "The Speech of Michael O'Flaherty" mocks Irish-American political speech patterns and concerns—referencing Tammany Hall politics and municipal complaints about city services. "The Illiterate Tug" presents working-class dialect humor. "A She Serpent" cartoon depicts two women in confrontational poses, likely satirizing female social rivalry or gossip, a common Judge theme. The right side includes lighter pieces: "The Sweet Girl Graduate" (poking fun at educated women), "Timely Notes" (social observation), and "His Courageous Debut" (theatrical satire). Overall, the page targets Irish-Americans, the working class, and educated women—typical Judge Magazine targets of the early 20th century.
