What you’re looking at
This page contains two distinct sections: **Left side:** A humor column featuring brief jokes attributed to various college publications (Chaparral, Pelican, Siren, Punch Bowl, etc.). The jokes employ wordplay and light social satire—poking fun at marriage anxieties, laziness, courtship dynamics, and academic failure. They reflect early 20th-century college social humor with predictable punchlines about romantic mishaps and student life. **Right side:** Advertisement and promotion for cartoonist Cesare, ranked among the top ten newspaper cartoonists. The text praises his superior technique and artistic skill across political, social, and humorous subjects. It advertises his daily cartoons in the *New York Evening Post* and promotes a print reproduction ("The Shock Absorber") available from Judge's art department for twenty-five cents. The page primarily serves as advertising disguised as editorial content—a common magazine practice. No specific political figures or events are referenced; the humor is generic collegiate comedy.

Some are powerful in matters political; some are best with things social and sentimental; some are funny. Nearly all are caricaturists rather than artists. Whether dealing with politics or war, social subjects, humorous situations, por- traits or caricatures, Cesare is always an artist. His technique is superior to that of any other newspaper cartoonist in America. Co ¢ @\Q caRToons appear daily in the New Horh Evening Post Subscription $10 a Year—Daily 3c.—Saturday 5c.
