What you’re looking at
This page from **Judge** (a satirical magazine) contains multiple cartoons and advertisements satirizing American life circa early 1900s. ## Main Cartoons: **"Judge's Amateur Art Contest"** features three prize-winning submissions: - **Third Prize**: Caricatures showing contrast between self-perception and others' views—a social satire on vanity - **First Prize**: "The Transformation of a Vegetarian" mocks a tenement dweller moving apartments. The joke: Peter Simpson absurdly throws his belongings (and his wife, tied in a pillowcase) from one building window to another across the street. His neighbors cheer until a policeman stops him. It satirizes both immigrant tenement life and immigrant resourcefulness taken to ridiculous extremes. - **Second Prize**: Shows people viewing a bird-less picture, with a wife's joke about her husband "crowing" about it ## Content: The page includes articles about political figures (Governor Hughes) and insurance corruption investigations in New York. Advertisements for alcohol (Hunter whiskey, High Life beer, Underberg bitters) dominate the margins—typical of Judge's era.

Having arranged to move to the eighth story of the tene- ment opposite, he decided that to carry his belongings down eight flights and then up eight flights was too slow and tedious a process for him. He, by the powers! would hurl them across. “So that is what he did. From his own window he hurled through the air! toward the opposite window frying pans, stools, pictures, chairs, and even a small table. “Go it, Pete!’ the crowd shouted from below. And their delight was boundless when Simpson threw the cat, tied in a pillowcase, and Mrs, Simpson caught it deftly at the window across the way.
