What you’re looking at
This page contains several unrelated humor pieces rather than a cohesive political cartoon. **"Surely!"** (top) appears to be a domestic joke about a husband's housekeeping excuses. **"Couldn't Comply"** tells of a hotel guest who must leave because he cannot follow a rule requiring guests to deposit valuables and pets with the clerk—he has neither to leave. **"One on the Captain"** depicts military personnel discussing water retrieval. **"New Use for the Pet Dog"** shows a woman using her dress hem to kick up dust, with a child's explanation about trees providing fruit and maple syrup. The bottom illustration labeled "Have You Noticed It?" is a fashion note about short skirts being in vogue that season, showing women's feet and footwear. These are light, domestic humor pieces typical of Judge's satirical magazine format—no major political references are evident.
