What you’re looking at
This page from *Judge* magazine contains primarily humorous one-liner jokes and advertisements rather than political cartoons. The jokes mock various social absurdities: a father's indifference to his daughter marrying unless the suitor has a boxing title; a father assuming children read newspapers to learn about eclipses; a doctor prescribing medicine while admitting ignorance of dosage and duration; and a man finding country life dull because he misses trains. The dominant feature is a Wrigley's Spearmint gum advertisement using a jingle ("One, two—it's good for you..."). A single cartoon at page bottom shows a wife instructing her new husband to clear garden debris to build a garage—a gentle jab at newlywed domesticity. The page also advertises a "Philadelphia Scotchman" cocktail recipe booklet. Overall, this reflects 1920s-era light humor and consumer advertising rather than pointed political satire.
