What you’re looking at
This page contains **humor shorts and period advertisements** rather than political cartoons. The jokes are brief, sourced from various international publications: **The Humor:** The cartoons and jokes mock everyday social situations—a Scottish man's dishonest haggling, shrinking cigars, a wife's expensive hat, a man broadcasting his cold like radio, a housekeeper's logic about the cat, a rejected suitor, and a language barrier at a foreign shop. These are gentle domestic satires with no political content. **The Advertisements:** The right side features vintage mail-order ads typical of 1920s-era Judge: electrical training courses, hair tonic ("Glover's"), a doughnut-making machine for profit, and firearms. These ads reflect the era's entrepreneurial spirit and consumer culture. **Historical Context:** The "broadcasting" reference suggests this is post-1920 (radio era). The French/Spanish language jokes and international joke credits reveal Judge's cosmopolitan readership. The ads' promises of quick wealth and self-improvement reflect 1920s optimism. **No political satire is present on this page.**

You see, the manufacturer noticed that the last inch of the cigar is always thrown away, si he’s making them that much shorter London Answers. ate Husband—Every time I look at that hat of yours I have to lau The’ Wife—Really!
