What you’re looking at
This page from *Judge* magazine features a political cartoon about the 18th Amendment (Prohibition) and several unrelated sections typical of the era. **Main Cartoon:** The illustration shows a large crowd with a banner reading "SUPPORT THE 18TH AMENDMENT!" The caption reads "Oh, say, can you see—?" This is satirical commentary on Prohibition, likely mocking either its supporters or the confusion/hypocrisy surrounding its enforcement. The reference to the national anthem suggests irony about patriotic appeals to support the amendment. **Other Content:** The page includes a "Letter-Laughs" contest (readers create pictures from cut-out letters), handwriting analysis by "Louise Rice," and period advertisements for commercial art schools, bitters tonic, and correspondence law courses. The cartoon's specific satirical point—whether pro- or anti-Prohibition—remains somewhat ambiguous without additional context, but it clearly references the contentious 18th Amendment debate of the Prohibition era.
