What you’re looking at
This page contains several short humorous pieces and illustrations typical of Judge's satirical style: **"Judge's Favorites"** features a portrait labeled celebrating a "first-fighter" and their qualities. **"Saw It Coming and Shied"** is a brief anecdote about a man (Mr. Slowboy) hurrying to leave because his car is arriving—a joke about automotive anxiety or escape. **"The Irishman's Retort"** recounts a confrontation where an Irishman falls from a building, is rescued, then verbally spars with his rescuer about the rescue itself—classic Irish humor based on contrarian wit. **Other pieces** include "Incentive Lacking," "Reasonably Sure," "Tough," and "A North Pole Honeymoon" (a poem about Arctic newlyweds), showcasing the magazine's mix of jokes, light verse, and social observation without targeting specific contemporary political events visible here.
