# Judge Magazine - April 1, 1922 This is an April Fools' Day cartoon playing on the holiday's tradition of pranks and deception. The caption reads: "So soon is April's Folly fled—he's April's Fool who'd miss it." The illustration depicts a whimsical, fantasy scene set in what appears to be a magical or theatrical cityscape. A figure in formal dress (likely representing April or spring) holds a child while dancing or fleeing with a woman in an elaborate dress. A small figure on the right appears to be chasing them. The cartoon satirizes April Fools' Day itself—the transient nature of spring foolishness and those who fail to participate in or appreciate the holiday's pranks and merriment. The fantastic, slightly surreal staging emphasizes the playful, deceptive spirit of April 1st celebrations.
