What you’re looking at
This page from **Judge** magazine presents several satirical vignettes set at an upscale country club, mocking social pretenses and contemporary attitudes. **Main cartoon**: Three men in suits and hats discuss a fourth absent member ("Mr. Faraway"), establishing an upper-class setting. **Satirical segments**: - **"The Married State"**: Mocks romantic idealism in marriage, suggesting newlyweds' grand expectations clash with mundane reality. - **"The Motor Many Need"**: Jokes about a failed business scheme, possibly referencing early automobile industry hype. - **"Initial Velocity"**: A brief quip about urban cost-of-living (money doesn't stretch far in New York). - **"Why Methuselah Sighed"**: Biblical humor—the ancient patriarch regrets he didn't receive modern life advice earlier. - **"He Got the Job"**: Humorous anecdote about a boy taking any job offered, even one originally marked "BOY WANTED." - **"In Moderation"**: A mild sports joke equating romantic success with baseball ("bunt"). The overall tone ridicules wealthy club members' pretensions while gently satirizing marriage, business, and social ambition typical of early 20th-century American life.
