What you’re looking at

This Judge cartoon satirizes wealthy socialites and their domestic pretensions. The comic shows various scenarios of upper-class people boasting about their servants and possessions: - A man claims his servant is a "setter-pointer" who works in the kitchen and "points at the ice box" - Someone jokes about lying "until tomorrow"—implying their spouse will discover the falsehood - A woman references a "Lincolnism" (unclear reference) The humor targets the snobbish affectations of the wealthy who exaggerate their staff's qualifications and abilities. The bottom text mentions Christmas cards and a Vaudeville act, suggesting the editor is planning holiday content. The overall satire mocks the pretentiousness of the wealthy during what appears to be the Jazz Age era.
