What you’re looking at

This page collects three brief comic sketches satirizing marital and social behavior: 1. **Top panel**: A man in formal wear confronts a woman at what appears to be a theatrical or show setting. The humor derives from domestic conflict—he accuses her of not giving him anything, she retorts he won't get anything from her either. 2. **Middle panels**: Social commentary on drinking and financial irresponsibility. One sketch shows a woman discovering her husband's drinking problem ("You've been drinking again"), while another depicts a man blaming alcohol for poor judgment ("I had a haircut and it went to my head"). 3. **Bottom panel**: A dramatic, heavily-inked finale showing figures in distress, wishing to escape to "South Bend, Indiana," suggesting they've reached marital or personal crisis. The overall theme satirizes Jazz Age domestic troubles—particularly male drinking, infidelity, and financial mismanagement—common subjects for Judge magazine's humor targeting middle and upper-class readers.
