What you’re looking at
This page consists primarily of **short humorous anecdotes and jokes** rather than political cartoons. The content reflects early 20th-century domestic and social comedy. The jokes target familiar targets of the era: - **Marital dynamics**: wives' spending habits, husbands' passivity ("I'm sorry to say, dear, that I haven't") - **Gender roles**: the "New Woman" challenging traditional femininity; wives controlling household finances - **Class humor**: a taxi driver's irreverence toward authority (the Archbishop's entrance) - **Automobiles**: referenced as a modern hazard causing "nervous prostration" The page also includes period advertisements for self-improvement books, furniture, and office supplies—typical Judge magazine filler. **No specific political figures are identifiable.** The satire is gentle, targeting universal marital frustrations and social pretension rather than current events. The "New Woman" reference suggests this is from the 1910s-1920s, when women's changing social roles generated cultural anxiety expressed through humor.

Right Personage in Wrong Convey- ance—The Archbishop of Canterbury was to officiate at an important service in Lon- don. The main entrance to the Abbey was opened, and a great space roped off so that the dignitaries might alight from their equipages unmolested. When a dusty four- wheeler crossed the square, driven by a fat, red-faced cabby, bobbies rushed out to head him off. “Get out of ere,” one of them called briskly. “This entrance is reserved for the Archbishop.” With a wink and a backward jerk of his thumb the irrepressible cabby replied, cheer- fully: I ’ave the old duffer insid Register. —Christian A Spook—Blinker—I woke up last night with the feeling that my gold watch was gone.
