What you’re looking at
This is primarily a **magazine advertisement** for Judge's Easter issue, not a political cartoon. The small illustration at the top shows a figure (likely representing "Hootense") asking their mother not to be asked to "budge" until they've read Judge's Easter number. The ad promises Easter-themed content (hats, eggs, rabbits, parades) alongside other features by notable contributors like Roy McCardell and illustrators Petersen and Carolyn Wells. It emphasizes "dozens of other features—new and superlatively good ones." The crown emblem at bottom appears to be Judge's logo ("The Hat He Shied Into the Ring"). **Pricing**: 10 cents per copy, $5 yearly subscription, or $1.25 for three-month trial. The publication was located at 225 Fifth Avenue, New York City.

Says Hortense to her mother, * Oh, fudge! Now please do not ask me to budge. To work | refuse Until I peruse This swell Easter number of JUDGE." UDGE'S Easter number will be some number. Of course hats, eggs, rabbits, Easter parades: and all the things that go with the occasion will be the subjects of some of the pictures, jokes and stories, but there will be dozens of other features—new and superla- tively good ones. Roy McCardell—you know him—has a rippingly funny story, splendidly illustrated by Petersen. Carolyn Wells, Ellis Parker Butler, Berton Braley and many other of your old friends will be found at their very best, while from the art standpoint there will be little left to be desired. There will be two full-page colored pictures, splendid for framing. One of them appears below. WHATEVER YOU DO OR DON'T DO, LET THE EASTER NUMBER OF JUDGE COME IN AND BRIGHTEN YOU UP AFTER THE SOBER DAYS OF LENT. At your newsdealer’s for 10 cents per copy, or at your door every week during the year for $5.00. Three months’ trial for $1.25.
