What you’re looking at

This page collects satirical vignettes mocking social attitudes of the era (likely 1920s-30s based on style). The cartoons target: **Prohibition-era drinking**: A woman asks a man what he drinks; he boasts about making homemade ginger ale, reflecting how Americans circumvented alcohol bans with substitutes. **Women's labor**: A scene questions how many men have women working for them, satirizing changing gender roles and women's employment. **Criminal justice**: A dramatic scene shows a woman declaring "No woman will ever let any man taint the sentence!"—likely mocking either lenient treatment of women criminals or suffragette rhetoric about women's moral superiority. **Prison reference**: A character mentions "Ma" Gunn and "all the prisoners in Texas," suggesting commentary on notorious criminals or jailbreaks of the period. The page uses stereotypical caricatures and exaggerated dialogue typical of Judge's satirical approach to contemporary social debates and hypocrisy.
