What you’re looking at

This page presents reprinted international humor from European publications, demonstrating Judge magazine's regular feature showcasing jokes from abroad. The cartoons satirize gender dynamics and modern anxieties of the early 20th century: 1. **Prague cartoon**: A male office manager celebrates finding a typewriter that will make female secretaries work "with eagerness and love"—mocking both the condescension toward women workers and faith in technological solutions to workplace management. 2. **Budapest cartoon**: A woman dismisses concern about the tango (a scandalous dance of the era), playing on moral panic about modern dance crazes. 3. **London cartoon**: A deaf woman mishears a street vendor's pricing, creating wordplay confusion—a traditional joke format unrelated to broader satire. The page also contains period advertisements (Egyptian Deities cigarettes, Apollinaris water, Beeman's Pepsin Gum), typical of Judge's commercial content.
