This Judge magazine page contains two distinct pieces of satire: **"Don't Scoff!" (top left):** A humorous advertisement parody for "Gulper's Correspondence School of Eating." The joke mocks overeating and poor table manners by offering absurd courses like "Soup and Silence" and "Seven Systems of Vest Protection"—suggesting diners get food on their clothing. This reflects early 20th-century anxieties about etiquette and social class. **"When Knights Were Bold" (bottom right):** A comedic skit reimagining King Arthur's Round Table as a modern advertising agency struggling to name a soap product. Sir Gallahad suddenly suggests "Ivory"—a real, famous soap brand. The "99 44/100 per cent. pure" tagline is Ivory's actual historical advertising slogan, making this an in-joke about corporate marketing and creative desperation. The medieval setting contrasts amusingly with contemporary business concerns. **"The One Standing Up"** (bottom): A brief cartoon joke about waiting for public transportation—likely mocking either impatience or the crowded conditions of street cars.
