What you’re looking at
This 1920s humor page from *Judge* contains several short comedy pieces targeting college students and contemporary social attitudes. **"Two Cheer Leaders Meet"**: Two male college cheerleaders engage in wordplay about pocket-books and flower songs, attempting to out-clever each other with invented products like "U.S. Mint" candy. The humor relies on dated slang and puns typical of collegiate humor of the era. **"Some People We Never Hear About"**: A list of absurdist non-entities, including "Dempsey's Shakespearean tutor" (referencing boxer Jack Dempsey's rough image) and references to contemporary events like the first woman's transatlantic flight—poking fun at unlikely combinations and forgotten figures. **"The Speed Maniac"**: An illustration satirizing reckless drivers by showing a maniac taking a baby carriage on a chaotic joyride, commenting on 1920s automobile culture and dangerous driving habits. The overall tone reflects Jazz Age college culture, with emphasis on witty banter, modern inventions, and social commentary on contemporary fads and personalities.
