This page mixes advertisements with student humor. The central cartoon by E.F. Bissantz depicts a woman in an exaggerated, angular pose—described as a "futurist artist's model." The joke critiques modernist art movements (likely Cubism and Futurism), which were still controversial in American culture. When asked if she's "deformed," the response normalizes her distorted appearance as fashionable artistic practice rather than actual deformity, satirizing how avant-garde art justified unconventional human representation. Below, two student comics offer campus humor: "Movie of a student getting up for an early class" shows bedroom scenes depicting morning struggles, while "The Poor Fish" and "Say It With Music" contain collegiate jokes about university life and popular songs. The surrounding advertisements—for commercial art training, guide books to Cuba and the West Indies, and a sexual knowledge book—reflect 1920s consumer culture and educational offerings typical of Judge's audience.
