# "Saturday Night" - Judge, October 22, 1921 This cartoon depicts a young boy doing laundry, wringing out what appears to be a cloth or garment into a large metal tub. The illustration is titled "Saturday Night," suggesting this references the common domestic chore schedule of the era. The satire likely comments on child labor or domestic responsibilities expected of children in the 1920s. The cheerful demeanor of the child contrasts with the unglamorous work, possibly mocking either parental expectations or societal attitudes normalizing children's household drudgery. The artwork is credited to J.F. Kernan. Without additional context from the magazine's surrounding content, the specific satirical target remains unclear, though it appears social commentary on childhood and labor.
