What you’re looking at
This page collects **humorous one-liners and cartoon jokes** from college students (noted by university attributions like Yale '29, Harvard '30), typical of Judge's format. The cartoons satirize **1920s-30s social conventions**: - **Top left**: Fashion and courtship—a woman in an enormous sun hat and another in a spotted dress, mocking exaggerated women's fashion trends - **"When Television Comes"**: Jokes about the emerging technology's social disruption - **"The Child" cartoon**: Depicts chaos, possibly mocking chaotic parenting or childhood behavior - **Bottom cartoon**: Women in a beach/swimming scene, with a joke about wearing stockings to a formal party—satirizing how younger women were abandoning modest dress codes, which scandalized older generations The **recurring theme** is generational conflict: college students joking about marriage, parents' expectations, fashion rules, and new technologies disrupting traditional life. The "Kodak as You Go" section parodies both amateur photography enthusiasm and pseudo-spiritual advice columns. These are **lighthearted college humor**, not sharp political satire—the page's appeal lay in relatability to educated young readers of the era.

This is Mother Machree breaking through with difficulty from the other side of infinity in order to give advice to prospective young photographers Let me tell you, photography is no snap job! One must con stantly witness the acute agonies of the poor little films suffering from exposure!
