What you’re looking at

This page contains two satirical cartoons about poverty and hardship, likely from the early 20th century. **Top cartoon ("No Such Luxury"):** Two impoverished men in tattered clothes discuss wartime deprivation. One remarks that "War makes very look so seedy, Bab," while the other notes they can't afford basic necessities like shoes or muddler. The satire critiques how common people suffer material privations during wartime while others may profit. **Bottom cartoon ("A Long Pull"):** Shows desperate figures at a tavern and street scene, seemingly depicting unemployment or economic struggle. The dialogue references someone's mood and an unsuccessful prior attempt at something. Both cartoons use exaggerated caricature and grotesque figures typical of Judge's satirical style to mock social inequality and the gap between rich and poor during economic hardship or wartime.
