# "Going Dippy" - Judge Magazine, June 23, 1923 This satirical cover depicts a couple at the beach, titled "Going Dippy." The phrase likely references the 1920s slang term "dippy" (meaning silly or foolish), while "going" suggests the fashionable activities of the era. The cartoon humorously portrays the woman in a modern, abbreviated bathing costume with a cloche hat—representing the "flapper" style of the Jazz Age—while the man kneels before her in an exaggerated, besotted pose. The satire appears to mock the period's changing gender dynamics and male infatuation with the new, more independent and fashionably daring woman. It's a commentary on how modern women's liberation and style choices bewildered and entranced men of the era.
