What you’re looking at
This is a humor page from *Judge* magazine featuring college-era jokes and cartoons, likely from the late 1920s based on the attributed dates ('29, '30, '31). **Content Overview:** The page collects brief comedic vignettes submitted by college students from various universities. The humor is genteel, era-appropriate comedy: a man trying too hard to impress a woman ("I love you!"), collegiate wordplay, and self-deprecating jokes about student life. **Key Cartoons:** - A central image shows a man surrounded by attractive women, illustrating the "triple threat" concept (presumably a man attractive to multiple women) - A lower cartoon depicts a sophisticated scene with elegantly dressed figures and furniture, accompanies the "college man" bit **The Satire:** The page's framing ("The Biggest News of the Week") gently mocks student priorities—a grandfather's death ("kicked off"), petty campus gossip, and trivial concerns treated as major events. It's affectionate rather than biting satire about youthful perspectives. The humor reflects 1920s college culture, prohibition-era references ("whisky prescription"), and genteel campus wit rather than sharp political commentary.
