What you’re looking at
This page contains humorous sketches and jokes rather than political cartoons. The top image titled "HER GENEROSITY" depicts a social scene where a woman marries a man named Dick, prompting the caption "Why did she marry Dick? I thought she valued her freedom." Below are several short joke sections: - **"Her Lenten Sacrifice"** satirizes women making trivial sacrifices for Lent (chocolate soda, ribbons) - **"All Of It"** jokes about an insane asylum patient's delusions - **"Another View"** contains crude humor about widows - **"These Odd Angles"** and other sections offer brief domestic and social humor The content represents typical early 20th-century Judge magazine fare: satirizing gender relations, marriage dynamics, and social pretension through lighthearted domestic humor rather than political commentary.

SRSRASTRTS ASEH Gee He—Why did she marry Dick ? Her Lenten Sacrifice «(WHAT are you giving up for Lent?”* IT asked a maiden fair; “The chocolate soda that you love, The ribbons in your hair, New novels, bonbons, violets, The cup of fragrant tea, The pleasure of the bargain sale, The weekly matinee?”’ “You know I never fail to make A sacrifice in Lent,” She answered, with a fleeting smile, Demure and innocent. “To make the slender silhouette On which just now we dote, I've given up my very last Remaining petticoat.” —afinna Irving. Hoarse ? Denny—What is that rasping sound? Benny—That’s Gray filing a complaint. I thought she valued her freedom. HER GENEROSITY All Off! THE insane patient was seemingly fish- ing. A bent pin ona bit of twine, tied to what had once been an umbrella handle, was dangled above a dishpan ab- solutely dry within. And every once in a while the poor fellow would glance down at the floor beside his chair and move his hand as if caressing something. “‘What’s he think he’s doing?” asked the visitor. “Catching fish for his pet pelican there at his side,’’ replied the attendant. “But there isn’t any pelican.’’ “Well, there aren’t any fish.’’ These Odd Angles Why does a builder design a flat so that departing guests invariably walk into the bathroom? She—She did. But she couldn't bear to think of Dick having any. Another View «sun po’, b’reaved brudder,’’ con- solingly said good old Parson Bagster, addressing the newly made wid- ower, ‘“‘it is a solemn thing when a man loses de wife o’ his buzzom."’ “Yessah,’’ replied skimpy Brother Meeks. ‘‘But sometimes it’s a heap sight solemner when he don’t.’’ Proverbial “Why is little Willie painting a big T-I-M-E on his kite?’’ “He wants to make sure it will fly.’” A Paradox Lo, a swain who’s nearly eighty Cries, ‘‘Alas, I am accurst! Though I’m in my second childhood, Cupid still is in his first!’’ comicbooks.com
