Judge — November 5, 1927 — page 35: what you’re looking at

Machine-transcribed from the original scan — historical spelling and the odd misread are preserved.

The sad state of the dear old Eustace College Club, on Thursday afternoon. Uncle Joe is the club wit, after-dinner speaker, song leader, and general all- around nuisance. He can tell you off- hand the name of the quarterback who picked up the fumble and ran ninety-two yards the Thanksgiving game of ’02, and he can sing the old songs with you at a minute’s notice, drunk or sober. These things might be forgiven him easily enough, but, unfortunately, Uncle Joe hangs around and grabs the new copy of JUDGE when it comes in and spends the afternoon sitting in the library read- ing it aloud; then he will carefully incor- porate all the new jokes and stories into his conversation for the coming week. As Uncle Joe is Chairman of the House Committee, there is not much can be done to curb him without using violence, but as there are several members who (1) want to read the new JUDGE, (2) who do not want to listen to Uncle Joe, it would seem he is in for a hard after- noon, We have heard many stories of the awful tragedies that are enacted on Thursday afternoons, often in the best clubs. If we may offer a suggestion— should it be possible that you have been depending upon your club to furnish you with its lone copy of JUDGE, we can re- lieve you of this annoyance by sending you a copy especially marked and printed for you each week. Just fill out and mail us the coupon. JUDGE PUBLISHING COMPA: 627 West 43d St., New York Send me Jupce for: 1 year ‘ 21 weeks Name comicbooks.com
