What you’re looking at

This page collects brief humorous anecdotes from college humor magazines (Lampoon, Gargoyle, Punch Bowl, etc.), typical of Judge's format. The jokes reflect early 20th-century college life and gender dynamics: **Key themes:** - **Military references**: A Scotsman joke about WWI trenches at Ypres (topical—America entered the war in 1917) - **Gender/courtship humor**: Multiple dialogues about kissing, romance, and marriage—often depicting women as coy or marriage-averse - **Class commentary**: A joke where a Black woman questions a judge's parenting authority, inverting expected power dynamics through humor **The cartoons** (by Robertson) show simple domestic scenes emphasizing sentimental or absurd moments. The advertisements (Cuban cigars, costume jewelry, correspondence schools) are typical period commercial content. The overall tone reflects pre-modern attitudes toward women, race, and relationships that would seem dated or offensive today.
