# "Gassed Again!" - Judge Magazine, January 18, 1919 This WWI-era cartoon depicts a soldier in military uniform carrying an injured or unconscious woman, titled "Gassed Again!" The phrase references poison gas attacks—a notorious weapon used extensively in WWI that caused widespread casualties and suffering. The satire likely comments on the ongoing threat or aftermath of chemical weapons during the final months of the war (January 1919 was just after the November 1918 armistice). The "again" suggests repeated exposure to this horrific weapon. The soldier appears as a protector attempting to rescue a civilian woman from gas attacks, possibly satirizing either the military's failure to prevent civilian casualties or the lingering dangers civilians faced even as the war ended. The drawing is credited to Irma Dermeaux.
