What you’re looking at

This appears to be a vintage Judge magazine humor page featuring four separate comics satirizing urban life and employment. **Top panel**: A couple at breakfast—she asks if he took a cold bath; he replies there's no hot water. This mocks domestic complaints and shabby living conditions. **Second panel**: A shirt factory scene where a worker claims he wasn't working because they were "making nightshirts"—a pun playing on the double meaning of "night" work. **Third panel**: Someone asks "Got a nickel?" in what appears to be Depression-era street begging or panhandling humor. **Bottom panel**: A man is so foolish he thinks "trees" exist on Park Avenue (an upscale Manhattan location), satirizing urban naïveté or working-class ignorance of wealthy neighborhoods. The overall theme mocks working-class struggles, unemployment, poverty, and social/economic gaps between rich and poor neighborhoods—likely from the 1920s-1930s era based on the style and content.
