What you’re looking at
This page collects humorous quips and cartoons primarily from college students, typical of Judge's "Tattler" humor section. The jokes are mostly lightweight collegiate wit: **Main Content:** - **"Cheer Leaders"**: A riff on Yale's athletic reputation, joking that cheerleaders are unintelligent - **"Horoscope"**: Satirical predictions about 1929 America—Hoover's frugality, celebrity endorsements, farm relief, the stock market (relevant given the 1929 crash context), and modern furniture trends - **"Cruelty"**: A crude domestic joke about a divorcing typesetter whose wife served alphabet soup **Bottom Cartoon:** Shows a man on a horse trespassing on private property; when confronted about ignoring the "Private Property" sign, he deflects blame to the horse—a simple visual gag about refusing responsibility. The page reflects typical college humor of the late 1920s: wordplay, mild satire of contemporary figures (Hoover), and domestic/relationship jokes. Most humor now seems dated or groan-worthy rather than genuinely funny.
