# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page 2 This page contains three separate humorous pieces rather than political cartoons: 1. **"I Know a Girl"** - A social commentary about a young woman interested in sports and college. The joke mocks both her ignorance (not knowing what "college hops" are) and the era's dismissive attitude toward women's education. 2. **"The Way Some Christmas Cards Ought to Read"** - Satirizes insincere holiday greetings, presenting brutally honest alternatives to typical Christmas wishes (e.g., "I don't want you to slight me"). 3. **"A Slight Delay"** and **"Funnybones"** - Brief comic sketches about everyday situations: a man waiting for agents during a raid, and a woman uncomfortable wearing an oversized radiator cover in winter. The page represents typical early 20th-century magazine humor—social satire focused on manners, gender roles, and domestic situations rather than politics.

I told her that Williams and Col- gate were playing that day and she wanted to know if the winner would play Mennens for the shaving cream championship. The other day she asked me if Smith was where all the cough drops came from, Yale to her is nothing but a name people put on keys, she says she doesn’t know why. She believes that college hops are terrible. “The very idea,” she says, “of young boys still in the earliest | flush of their glorious manhood taking | dope!” Carroll | Funnybones Look, baby!
