What you’re looking at
This page collects brief humorous items typical of early 20th-century satirical magazines: **"Hunters All!"** - A large cartoon showing a man displaying taxidermied hunting trophies while his wife sits bored. The caption "Why don't women do the same?" satirizes masculine pride in hunting displays, suggesting women should similarly boast about their accomplishments. **Theater/Production cartoons** - Two theater-related jokes mock dramatic pretension: one depicts an actor overacting Shakespeare, another tells of a vaudeville comedian who interrupts a rescue to take a bow—mocking performers' vanity. **"Poor Marksman" and other brief jokes** - Short quips from various publications satirize domestic life (spittoon removal), consumer confusion (wireless fans for rooms), and legal incompetence (a lawyer's client beats him up after winning his case). The page represents typical Judge content: lightweight social satire targeting middle-class pretensions, gender dynamics, and professional incompetence rather than serious political commentary.

Had a motor smash or something?” The lawyer shook his head. “No! You remember that case the other day, when I defended a man charged with assault? Well, I made a strong plea for him, on the ground that he was a fool rather than a criminal.” “Yes, but ” “Well, I did it so well that the man was acquitted.” “But ” “You see, my client waited for me outside!” —Perarson’s Curtain Call Not long ago, a theatrical boarding-house caught fire. In his spurt for safety a music-hall comedian paused long enough to pick up an unconscious woman and carry her outside. In the midst of the spectat bravos the comedian exclaime “Here, give me the girl—I want to take a bow Yorx Mornine Tere- SS He (half-an-hour late )—Aw- fully sorry I’m late. She—Don’'t be sarcastic.
