What you’re looking at
This page contains **three unrelated elements**: British and Chilean humor comics, plus advertisements. ## "Laughs From Other Lands" (Left Column) Three brief jokes from international publications: 1. **"A Deep Question"** (Sketch, London): A soldier returning from WWI trenches exchanges wordplay with a child about mud depth—a dark joke about trench warfare conditions. 2. **Aunt/Elder Boy** (Punch, London): Dark WWI humor where a boy explains his father must enlist because "one of us had to"—implying sacrifice or resignation to wartime conscription. 3. **"Who Is To Blame?"** (Succesos, Chile): A master blames his servant for forgetting where he placed cigarettes, then ironically forgets the servant's name—a class-based comedy about employers' selective memory regarding servants. ## Right Side: Advertising The bulk of the page is **Schlitz beer advertising** emphasizing brown bottles' protective properties, plus unrelated ads for foot remedies and art studies—typical period magazine content. The page demonstrates Judge's international humor reprints alongside commercial advertising.
