Judge — April 11, 1908 — page 7: what you’re looking at
What you’re looking at
This page from Judge magazine contains several separate comic vignettes rather than a unified political cartoon. **"Tally One for Alfonso"** (top) appears to reference King Alfonso of Spain (suggested by the title and opening verse), though the satirical point is unclear from the visible text. **"And It's Such a Little Thing, Too!"** depicts Mr. Luggins frantically searching his pockets on a subway platform—a relatable comedy about forgetfulness. The humor lies in his accumulating list of forgotten items (toothpicks, marking ink, etc.) and his resigned acceptance that he'll be "sculped" (deceived/tricked) anyway. **"He Ought to Know"** and **"Those Dear Girls!"** show domestic scenes with wordplay—one involving chickens and money, another about having photographs taken with "justice tempered with mercy." **"Flattened Him"** is a brief joke about spotting someone on Broadway. The page is primarily **humorous domestic and everyday scenarios** rather than serious political satire—typical of Judge's lighter content.
