Judge — October 6, 1928 — page 26: what you’re looking at
What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising**, featuring two Westclox watch ads (Pocket Ben at $1.50 and an Auto Clock at $2.50) that dominate the left and bottom portions. The center contains a **comic strip titled "Alec the Great,"** depicting what appears to be a football game. The narrative shows Steve instructing Alec to cross and go around the left end, then tells him to "put out that end, Bill." Alec responds with apparent indignation ("My gawd—Alec thinks my helmet is the gall"). The strip satirizes either miscommunication in sports or Alec's perceived arrogance/entitlement—the joke being his offended reaction to a direct order. The right side contains a **bridge card game problem** solution, a feature typical of Judge magazine's mixed content of puzzles and games. At the bottom is a **Scotch whisky advertisement** and a tagline: "FEUD BE MINE IDE / FEATURE GOOD AND / CLOTHIER FINE" (text appears OCR-garbled). The page reflects early-20th-century magazine format: serious advertising alongside light humor and recreational puzzles.
