# Judge Magazine Page Analysis This page contains satirical humor pieces typical of early-to-mid 20th century Judge magazine. **Main cartoon** ("Exciting Days at Old Lehigh"): Depicts a man in a bowler hat and checkered suit arriving at Lehigh University, causing commotion among students. The satire appears to mock either a notable visitor's unexpected arrival or commentary on campus social disruption—though the specific identity remains unclear from the image alone. **Secondary elements**: Brief humorous anecdotes ("No Hope," "Heard in a Speakeasy") reference 1920s Prohibition-era culture, including references to speakeasies (illegal bars) and the era's social tensions around marriage, money, and alcohol. **Left cartoon**: Shows a mountaineer domestic scene with crude humor, typical of period stereotyping. The page emphasizes social observation humor rather than explicit political satire.

Well, that is the very thing for which the Smoke-of-the- Month Club has been organized. Each month the Selection Com- mittee will pick the outstanding rette of the month and for- ward you a carton of the current choice. This committee will be made up of the five remaining dis- tinguished people who have not yet endorsed a cigarette. ur up dan- iten. bow and take you go to —Jack Lucas exciting DVS AL OLD | cHiGH AN UNEXPECTED VISITOR GENTLEMEN WHAT 1S THE MEANIN[S OF THIS FISTICUFFS VOICED THE DEAN What kind of viscous should a filling-station employee have?
