What you’re looking at
This page showcases amateur cartoonists' work on everyday social humor. The jokes target early 20th-century life: **Key cartoons include:** - A dialogue between "Augustino" and "Meester" about trade being "the same ol' grind"—depicting working-class immigrant characters (suggested by accented English) complaining about monotonous labor. - A joke about a woman's "muddy complexion" caused by "beauty clay"—mocking dubious cosmetic products marketed to women. - Domestic humor: a couple discussing whether a car will go "up or down a hill"; another about missing "the last train home" from country living. - A saxophone player mistaken for a hunting accident victim with "buckshot wounds"—satirizing the instrument's novelty and poor reputation in polite society. The page's introduction explains Judge offers space to amateur artists with "bright, original" ideas, encouraging submissions. The humor is genteel, focusing on vanity, class differences, and consumer culture rather than sharp political satire.
