What you’re looking at

This page from *Judge* magazine contains several brief humorous anecdotes rather than political cartoons: **"Thought He Knew"** satirizes Prohibition-era hypocrisy. A traveling salesman searches for an illegal drink in Maine. Everyone claims nothing is available, but the hotel manager winks and secretly leads him upstairs—suggesting widespread underground drinking despite legal prohibition. **"Must Be a Different Species"** jokes about economic hardship. A starving man in a new town is paid to appear destitute (as the town's only undertaker, he needs to look poor to attract business). The absurdist humor mocks small-town economics and desperation. **Other brief jokes** include wordplay about toothbrushes as drink substitutes and light observations about relationships. The page is predominantly **advertisements** for whiskey, house plans, patent medicines (asthma treatments, blood poison cures), and other products—typical of early 20th-century magazine advertising. The editorial content serves mainly to fill space between ads rather than deliver serious satire.
