Judge — October 28, 1911 — page 23: what you’re looking at
What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising with light humor content**—typical of Judge's format. The main illustrated comic shows a **dinner scene satirizing class pretense**: a well-dressed man and woman at a fancy restaurant. The jokes below mock diners who deceive themselves about what they're eating and their financial status—paying for "chicken" while eating veal, or a banker repeatedly losing cashiers (implying embezzlement or scandal). The "Poor Boy," "Expecting a Recall," and "Uncle Pennywise" sections are brief **social humor**—mocking a child forced to behave at parties, jokes about political recall elections (likely early 1900s), and working-class attitudes toward treating villagers to drinks. The **Red Raven advertisement** promotes a patent medicine claiming to aid digestion for "high livers" (wealthy socialites). Remaining content is **hotel and champagne advertising**, exploiting aspirational messaging about luxury and European prestige. The page reflects Judge's dual appeal: satirizing upper-class excess while advertising luxury products to readers aspiring to that lifestyle.
