EDITORS COMMENTS
This satirical lithograph, titled "Golf craze comes to Yapps Crossing" captures the humorous side of the early 20th-century golfing phenomenon. Created by John B. Gruelle in 1915 for Judges Magazine, this comic illustration pokes fun at the growing obsession with the sport during that time. The scene depicts a bustling street in Yapps Crossing, where men and women are hilariously engrossed in playing golf. The artist uses caricature-like figures to exaggerate their enthusiasm and create a comedic effect. With exaggerated swings and comical expressions, these players embody the absurdity of the golf craze. Gruelle's clever satire is evident as he mocks both men and women who have fallen under golf's spell. This artwork reflects society's fascination with this new pastime while simultaneously ridiculing its excessive popularity. The vibrant colors and lively composition add to the overall humor of the piece, making it an amusing snapshot of early 20th-century culture. Through this satirical cartoon, Gruelle highlights how hobbies like golf can become all-consuming crazes that capture people's attention and imagination. "Golf craze comes to Yapps Crossing" is not only a delightful example of historical satire but also serves as a reminder that even seemingly innocent activities can inspire widespread obsession and provide endless fodder for comedic commentary.
