What you’re looking at

# Judge Magazine, December 11, 1926 This page contains two cartoons satirizing Christmas gift-giving expectations. **Top cartoon** ("The Model She Asked Santa Claus to Send Her"): Shows a young woman gazing at a 1921 automobile model, suggesting materialistic desires—expensive cars as romantic fantasy gifts. **Bottom cartoon** ("Some of the Things They Looked at for Aunt Jane—and What They Sent Her"): Contrasts what people *wanted* to give (jewelry, wristwatch, pitcher, wardrobe items, fur coat) versus what they *actually* sent (a postcard). This satirizes the gap between generous gift-giving intentions and stingy reality, likely reflecting post-war economic concerns or simple tightfistedness among gift-givers. Both cartoons humorously mock Christmas materialism and the disconnect between desires and practical reality.
