What you’re looking at
This satirical column by Norman Anthony poses a contemporary social question—"Is woman's place in the home?"—to various New York characters, capturing their frank responses. The cartoon mocks both the question itself and society's attitudes toward women's roles in the 1920s. The respondents include working professionals (Eddie Jump, Tom Toper, Gerald Grouch, Phil Landerer), each with characteristically cynical or evasive answers. Gerald Grouch refuses to answer because his response is "not fit to print," suggesting the question provokes crude commentary. Tom Toper advises secrecy ("Sh! She'll hear you!"), implying wives shouldn't know men's true opinions. The satire targets male attitudes as much as the question itself—these men represent various urban types whose responses range from blustering to cowardly, revealing contemporary gender tensions during a period when women's social roles were rapidly changing. The right side of the page contains unrelated advertisements, typical of Judge's format.
