# "Haps and Mishaps in November" - Judge Magazine This is a daily calendar of satirical comic strips mocking various November events and social follies. The subtitle—"The Month of KLU KLUX KLANS and KOLLEGE and ALKAHOLIK KICKS"—signals the page's targets: the KKK (referenced through the "K" alliteration), college life, and Prohibition-era drinking culture. Individual panels satirize contemporary issues: Liberty Bonds (WWI financing), golf obsessions, Armistice Day observances, pumpkin pie, Thanksgiving preparations, and a Yale-Harvard football game. Several reference specific historical incidents (Wyoming Indians, a 1920 Charlie Chaplin alimony case, a 1932 streetcar debut). The cartoons employ crude visual humor typical of 1920s satire—exaggerated faces, slapstick scenarios—targeting middle-class American preoccupations and hypocrisies. The alliterative title mockingly suggests the KKK and college fraternities share similar trivial concerns with drinking, reflecting contemporary anxieties about these institutions.
