Judge: March 19, 1927

An issue of Judge cost 15 cents in 1927, $2.79 in today's dollars. I paid $12.50 for a copy on eBay in August, a five-fold premium for being so far behind in my reading. This is my first purchases of any issue of this particular humor magazine. The March 19 issue looks decidedly hit or miss.

My Entries in the Moment Cartoon Caption Contest for Spring 2024

Moment magazine's Cartoon Caption Contest for the Spring 2024 issue depicts an obese pharaoh of ancient Egypt visiting the doctor's office. My four captions are shown below, the last being a rewrite of the first. I think the third is the best. The drawing is by Benjamin Schwartz.

“You’ll have to fix your food pyramid.”
"Spend more time walking like an Egyptian."
"I never thought YOU would overindulge in matzo."
"Rebuild that food pyramid."
