What you’re looking at

This page appears to be primarily **promotional/advertising content** rather than a cartoon. The bulk of the page consists of what looks like **Chinese or Japanese characters** in vertical columns—difficult to read clearly in this reproduction, though they may represent decorative text or an advertisement. The only clearly legible English text is at the bottom: "All of which means that the Mah Jongg Number of Judge will be out next week!" **Context for modern readers:** This is announcing a special issue of *Judge* magazine dedicated to **Mah-Jongg**, the Chinese tile game that experienced a craze in America during the 1920s-1930s. The exotic game became fashionable among American socialites and was frequently referenced in period humor and advertising. This page is essentially a teaser/announcement promoting an upcoming themed issue of the magazine, likely filled with jokes and satire about the Mah-Jongg fad. The foreign-language text reinforces the "exotic Oriental" marketing angle popular in that era's American popular culture.
