What you’re looking at
This is a satirical daily calendar for March 1919, presented as a grid of comic vignettes. The page's title plays on Shakespeare's "Beware the Ides of March," reframing March as a month of chaotic "ideas" rather than danger. The cartoons reference contemporary 1919 events: Woodrow Wilson's inauguration (March 4), Italy's rejection of territorial claims at the Paris Peace Conference, Prohibition's ratification, naval history, and various social absurdities. Character types include politicians, soldiers, and everyday people engaged in ridiculous scenarios—a thinker stretching to reach ideas, figures dealing with coal shortages, and references to Rudolph Valentino. The satire targets post-WWI America's political confusion, resource scarcities, and social upheaval. The side note "P.S. Don't miss Judge's College Wits number!" indicates this was a promotional page for the magazine. The overall tone is absurdist humor about an unstable, transitional historical moment.
