What you’re looking at
This page collects comedy sketches from contemporary theatrical productions, likely from the 1920s. The top cartoon mocks a couple's marital discord—she threatens suicide over his infidelity; he sarcastically responds she lacks the competence. The middle sketch from "Keep Kool" shows two men viewing a theatrical performance, with a joke about tailors' addresses implying infidelity. The bottom cartoon from "Lollipop" depicts a plumber and woman under an umbrella; when asked if both must leave, the man quips the question of "union" labor (whether both workers must depart) will become a major civic issue—likely satirizing contemporaneous labor disputes and unionization debates in 1920s America. These vignettes represent Judge's typical format: reprinting jokes from popular stage productions to amuse readers.
