What you’re looking at

This page contains humorous short jokes and witticisms typical of Judge's satirical format, plus a prominent Nujol laxative advertisement. The main cartoon (top right) depicts a man with a tennis racket appearing to play with a dachshund dog as if it were a ball—a visual pun on "passing the mustard" (though the connection to the title remains unclear). The jokes themselves reflect 1917 wartime concerns: "Mary's Bond" celebrates war bonds as patriotic investments that hurt the Kaiser; "Useful" and "A Qualification" mock men avoiding military service; "Excusable Pride" gently ridicules small patriotic donations; and "Keep Fit for Your Country" emphasizes personal health as a patriotic duty. The Nujol ad reinforces this message, framing internal cleansing as national service—typical wartime rhetoric that privatized civic duty.
