This page collects international satirical cartoons from European and Japanese publications, showcasing humor across different cultures. The content includes: **Individual cartoons** on everyday social situations: a Berlin subway passenger's bad luck always catching the wrong train; a Budapest couple dancing the "orangotango"; a Parisian music teacher restricting a young student to minor keys; and a London policeman explaining his invisibility is job security during a crime wave. **A four-panel Japanese comic** (Tokyo Puck) depicts a farmer named Mokubei who finds oranges, then uses a water-powered machine to process them into juice—the visual humor lying in the absurd mechanical contraption. The page demonstrates Judge magazine's practice of reprinting humor from international sources, likely to amuse American readers with foreign perspectives and comic styles. The selections emphasize relatable urban and domestic situations with gentle, non-political satire.
