Judge — November 18, 1916 — page 23: what you’re looking at
What you’re looking at
This page from Judge magazine consists primarily of **humor columns and advertisements** rather than political cartoons. ## "With the College Wits" Section The left side features brief jokes attributed to college humor publications (Widow, Chaparral, Lampoon, Record). These are lightweight gags about contemporary early-20th-century concerns: motorcycles, gender relations ("Personal Magnetism"), and the emerging technology of cinema ("The New Age" jokes about schoolchildren watching film reels instead of live entertainment). The single cartoon shows a woman in 1920s attire lifting a large man—illustrating the "Fat Suiter" joke about romantic pressure. ## Advertisements The right side contains period ads: Nabisco Sugar Wafers, a patent attorney service, Henry Lindenmeyer & Sons paper supplier, and notably a **diamond credit scheme** ($2 monthly payments, "no money down"). ## Satirical Content The page gently satirizes modern life—automobiles, cinema's displacement of traditional entertainment, gender dynamics—but offers no sharp political critique. It's consumer-oriented humor typical of 1920s collegiate magazines.
