What you’re looking at
This is primarily a **humor and advertising page** from *Judge* magazine, not a political cartoon. The content consists of: **Main Feature:** "With the College Wits"—a collection of student jokes and witticisms, mostly dating humor and academic life. Examples include a canoe scene where a girl drops a knitting stitch and asks her date to be a "purl diver" (pun on pearl diver), and exchanges about censoring letters to servicemen. **Advertisements:** The page is heavily populated with ads for NYC hotels (Marie Antoinette, San Remo), Lionel Strongfort's physical fitness program, patent services, and Cuticura ointment. **Supporting Content:** A "Wisdom" poem mocking pretentious intellectualism, and various newspaper clippings from college humor publications. **Context:** This reflects post-WWI college culture—references to servicemen suggest wartime dating concerns. The humor is genteel and innocent by modern standards, focusing on courtship mishaps and student life rather than satire of current events.
