# "Hot Under the Collar" - Judge Magazine, August 14, 1922 This cartoon depicts a domestic dispute between two men over a woman's housekeeping during her absence. The titled "Hot Under the Collar" refers to Mr. Du Guineau becoming angry while his wife is away. The humor relies on period domestic stereotypes: a waiter suggests adding garlic to the salad, while the stenographer comments that the husband "never looked less than a year before!" The final exchange about a radio broadcast for a child to "read the paper" suggests absurdist modern technology humor. The satire mocks both incompetent husbands managing households and the era's emerging consumer technologies. It reflects 1920s anxieties about gender roles, domestic management, and rapid technological change entering American homes.
