Judge — March 3, 1928 — page 19: what you’re looking at
What you’re looking at
This page contains **short humorous pieces** rather than political cartoons. The content includes: 1. **"Lover's Complaint"** (left): A sentimental poem by J.C. Huxley satirizing romantic declarations—the twist being the speaker's lover keeps forgetting his name is "Gus," not the pet name used throughout. 2. **"When Friendship Ends"** (top right): A domestic scene where a man shows a woman sheet music titled "And we'll rhyme 'blue' with you! shouted Tin Pan Alley." This mocks the predictable, formulaic songwriting of Tin Pan Alley (the popular music industry). 3. **"Little Women"** section (bottom): A humorous dialogue where a child asks his mother what a "genius" is, and she jokes that she married one—implying her husband foolishly spent money on worthless rubber bands. 4. **"First Student"** (footer): A brief joke about quinine being "habit-forming," playing on period anxieties about drug dependency. The page is primarily **entertainment and wordplay** rather than social commentary.
