What you’re looking at
This page from *Judge* consists primarily of brief comic anecdotes rather than political cartoons. "The Cheer" features cartoon vignettes satirizing college life and social etiquette of the 1920s. The jokes target typical period absurdities: a woman claiming the same age for five years; confusion over what a "guest towel" is; a flapper soliciting funds for a "Working Girls' Home" (likely a charitable institution); and misunderstandings about "Washington Square" and campus construction. The humor relies on generational and class-based comedy—confusion between naive freshmen and sophisticated urbanites, malapropisms, and social pretension. The freckle-removal and aftershave advertisements reflect period beauty standards emphasizing smooth, unblemished skin. These appear to be reprinted jokes from various college newspapers (West Point Pointer, Princeton Tiger, Wesleyan Wasp, etc.), typical filler content for *Judge's* satirical magazine format of the era.
