What you’re looking at
This page contains three unrelated humorous sketches typical of early 20th-century satirical magazines: 1. **Top cartoon**: A young man literally sits motionless after kissing a girl—mocking men who become paralyzed or lose composure around women. 2. **Middle section**: A dialogue joke about co-educational colleges where neither sex has an advantage ("neck and neck"), likely referencing contemporary anxiety about women's education and changing gender dynamics. 3. **Bottom left cartoon**: A man shows a portrait to someone at a door, claiming "that's not my baby"—a domestic humor joke playing on paternity doubts. 4. **Right sidebar**: Includes brief quips about fortune tellers, racetrack betting speed, and an epitaph for golfer "Jock McKenney" who "took one shot too many"—dark humor about golf excess. The page reflects period concerns: courtship awkwardness, women's education, infidelity humor, and leisure activities. The style and content are typical Judge magazine filler material.
