What you’re looking at

# Judge Magazine Cover, May 13, 1922 This is a magazine cover rather than a political cartoon. It features a portrait illustration of a woman with short, dark bobbed hair—a fashionable 1920s hairstyle—gazing downward. She wears a light-colored garment. The caption reads "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star, / How I Wonder What You Are— / Up To!"—a playful twist on the nursery rhyme. This appears to reference contemporary anxieties about young women's independence and changing social behavior during the Jazz Age. The "up to" suggests mysterious or potentially scandalous activities, reflecting period concerns about women's liberation and the "flapper" phenomenon. The illustration is credited to Lioncourt Usaac as "Kiki."
