What you’re looking at
This page contains **college humor reprints** and advertisements rather than original satirical cartoons. ## The Humor Section The left side features reprints of jokes from college publications (Columbia Jester, Stanford Chaparral, Harvard Lampoon). These brief comedic exchanges use common early-20th-century tropes: - A suggestive "ticklish" flirtation joke - Religious hypocrisy humor (a man stops attending church after marrying a choir singer) - Depression-era academic satire (professors and ministers can't afford to support their families) - A extended shipboard joke about seasickness and appetite loss during ocean voyages These jokes target educated audiences familiar with college life and contemporary social anxieties. ## Advertising The right side features two advertisements: a **Porto Rico cruise** ($94.50 for 16 days) marketing tropical leisure travel, and **bound volumes of Judge magazine** itself ($1.50 binders), encouraging readers to collect and preserve the magazine's humor. The page is primarily **light entertainment and commercial**, with no political satire or caricature present.

But I’m sv afraid—you know, I’ve never been to sea before. What does one do on shipboard? Jessie—It’s really unnecessary, but I'll tell you. On the first day out you feel wonderful—your appetite is enormous— you eat a big breakfast, a hearty luncheon anda substantial dinner; then you walk up and down the deck and peek at the Steamer chairs. You get up in the morn- ing feeling—well, not quite so wonderful; but you eat a huge breakfast, and walk up and down some more. Then you go to luncheon, and your appetite is still astounding; you simply must eat—and youdo. You walk some more and talk to & shoe drummer, who admits that he is one of the Astorbilt boys. Then you go into dinner. You start to eat, but, some- bow, just after the soup, you lose your— enthusiasm—you feel odd—oh, very odd! —then within you arises a great desire to hiccough—but don't you do it!—Harvard mpoon. = e==s ‘Porto Rico The Ideal 16-Day Cruise "Carolina", "Brazos" and other big steam- ers in service, with new and luxurious fittings designed especially for comfort in the tropics.
