What you’re looking at
This page presents satirical vignettes about hot weather, a common Judge magazine theme. The main cartoon shows a couple discussing fashion—the woman (Madge) asks if shirtwaists look "horrid on men," and Paul agrees they do. The joke mocks men's fashion choices during summer heat. Other panels depict travelers complaining about heat-related discomforts: a passenger questioning whether a horse gets tired from walking; a driver defending his horse's stamina; and what appears to be a "Dear Mr. Dauber" advice column addressing vacation complaints about hot weather and related travel frustrations. The satire targets how people—and their animals—struggle during summer, offering commentary on both fashion absurdities and the general irritability heat produces in travelers and the public.
