# Analysis This Judge magazine page contains several humor pieces satirizing early 20th-century domestic and social life: **"Where-e-e-e's My Sweetie Hiding-g-g?"** depicts a man singing a popular song while his wife hides behind furniture, unaware of her presence. The satire mocks men who sing loudly at home, indifferent to their wives' preferences. **"An Excuse for the Blues"** by Edwin Rust humorously justifies a husband's melancholy despite having a content wife—he's simply bored staying home. **"Krazy Kracks"** presents a wordplay puzzle about Blokins changing from selling oil to pencils. The **"Funnybones"** section jokes about tired businessmen. The bottom cartoon shows a man buried in snow, with a visual pun about the word "snow." These pieces reflect common early-20th-century complaints about marriage, domestic life, and office work.

Edwin Rutt Read “What is Blokins selling on the curb?” “He was selling oil, but now he’s selling pencils.” sae The average wife doesn’t object to her husband being the captain of his own soul, as long as she can command his salary. KRAZY RACKS “give a sentence with the word Dyspepsia” “Pop made some home-brewand said to ma, ‘Dyspepsia up!” Judge pays $5 for each krazy krack printed. “Tut-tut—lessee—a four-letter word beginning in “S” and ending in “W"°— which is white and falls in winter—tch—tch—lessee—lessee!” See the man? Isn't the man stupid? The man is sitting in snow up to his neck, and can't even think what the word is. Why anybody with half an eye could tell him the word is “snow.” comicbooks.com
