What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising**, not political satire. It features steamship and hotel advertisements with minimal cartoon content. The small comedic vignettes on the right are light humor pieces unrelated to current events: - **"The Last Fly"** (Harvard Lampoon): A sentimental/comic poem about the season's final fly, anthropomorphizing it with human emotions about abandonment and winter. - **Short jokes** about social situations (a young woman coloring her cheeks, a couple reconciling, courtroom testimony about penury). The dominant content is **travel advertising** promoting Caribbean and southern U.S. steamship routes (Clyde Line, Ward Line, Mallory Line) and winter getaways to Florida, Cuba, and Puerto Rico—marketed as escapes where "winter is only a name." A hotel ad for the Earlington in Manhattan rounds out the page. There is **no political commentary or social satire** visible. This appears to be a typical Judge magazine page balancing light humor with commercial advertisements.

Ah, little fly, I weep for thee, with char. acteristic e: You're left alone to make your moan (And possibly to freeze). Your comrades gay have disappeared; they’re swatted, I believe, =i And you, if I mistake not, for your com- rades deeply grieve. Ah, little fly, I weep for thee; I'll raise the cruel pane. Pray do not go—it’s bound to snow (And possibly to rain). Ah, little fly, I've got you now! Don’t sit and look at me; Don’t sit upon the mantelpiece and rub your hind legs three. Ah, little fly, I’m after you, with charac- teristic swoop! I've driven you in the Irish stew (Or possibly the soup). —Harvard Lampoon.

Mixed—‘‘ How do you like my biscuits, hubby? I got the recipe out of a paper. “Well, my dear, I found a button in one and a feather in another. Maybe you got the cooking recipe mixed with the fashion hints.’’—Louisville Courier-Journal. bitters by. ty more, 3d. (ADE comicbooks.com
