# "Ain't Angie Awful!" - Judge Magazine Advertisement This page is primarily an advertisement for Judge magazine's serialized satire "Ain't Angie Awful!" by Gelett Burgess, illustrated by Rea Irvin. The cartoon depicts a man in a checkered suit confronting a voluptuous woman, with the caption "She lurked among the hardware." The satire mocks popular "sex serial" stories appearing in contemporary magazines, which the ad claims are often mild despite sensational marketing. Judge positions itself as offering genuinely daring, witty content compared to competitors. The ad emphasizes that Judge costs only 10 cents and appears weekly, with readable content readers "won't have to read between" the lines to understand—a jab at other magazines' pretentious or obscure storytelling. The overall tone satirizes both the prevalence of sex-themed fiction and the magazines that promote them.
