What you’re looking at

This page from *Judge* (likely early 1920s, based on references to WWI's "battle off Jutland") contains humorous short stories and advertisements rather than political cartoons. The **stories with smiles** include Irish-immigrant humor ("Making a Fool of the Boss," "Why Pat Balked"), typical of early 20th-century American publications. The jokes rely on ethnic stereotypes—Irish workers and patients named Patrick or Kilpatrick. Other anecdotes satirize wartime conditions ("Limited View" mocks a WWI sailor who saw only coal as a stoker) and general absurdity (a milk supply joke about oceanic water volume; someone too tired to see eclipses). The **art print advertisements** promote Judge cover illustrations by James Montgomery Flagg—"Wallnuts" and "Are My Lips on Straight?"—showing flapper-era imagery typical of the period. The **liquor advertisements** (Club Cocktails, Old I.W. Harper Whiskey, Sunny Brook) are notable as Prohibition was enacted in 1920, making their prominence historically significant—this likely predates Prohibition's enforcement or represents early resistance to it.

Making a Foo! of the Boss—Murphy was taking a day off and, wishing to enjoy himself thoroughly, he walked around to watch “the boys.” He was surprised to see his friend Kelly working as if carrying a hodful of mortar up and down the ladder were the only thing he took any real pleasure in. “It’s yourself that’s working mighty hard to-day, Kelly!” expostulated Murphy. “Whist! I’m just making a fool of the boss!” said Kelly, winking slyly. “And how are you doing that, Kelly?” “Sure, Murphy, it’s as easy as kissing your hand! He sees me going up the ladder with my hod full of mortar, and he thinks I’m working. But, Murphy, my boy, it’s the same hodful I’m carting up and down all the time!” —Youth’s Companion. Why Pat Balked—Softly the nurse smoothed the sufferer’s pillow. He had been admitted only that morning and now he looked up pleadingly at the nurse who stood at his bedside. “An’ phwat did ye say the docther’s name was, nurse, dear?” he asked. “Dr. Kilpatrick,” was the reply. ‘He's the senior house surgeon.” “That settles it,” he muttered, firmly, at docther won't get a chanst to operate ked the nurse in surprise. y clever man.” is may be,” the patient said. ame happens to be Patrick.’ New York Globe. Limited View—The bluejacket had been in the battle off Jutland, and in the railway compartment everyone addressed him re- spectfully. Incidentally he was the recipient of numerous fine cigars. He conducted him- self with becoming dignity and when the foreign-looking gentleman who had kept silent went out at a roadside station the audience settled down to hear the yarn. Nodding his head toward the dark stranger on the platform, the bluejacket remarked with a grin: “°E thinks ’e ’as lost somethink ’e'd like to hear, e’ But all Hi saw of the bloody battle was coal—nothink but coal.
