# Judge Magazine Page 131 - Analysis This page contains several satirical short pieces and illustrations typical of Judge magazine's humor. **Top cartoon "He Was Too Easily Resigned"** depicts a domestic dispute where George threatens to leave his wife Ethel. The satire mocks a husband's weak resolve—he claims he won't lose "hope and ambition in life" by staying married, yet immediately capitulates when Ethel manipulates him emotionally. This reflects late 19th/early 20th century gender dynamics, satirizing both male bravado and female domestic power. The remaining sections—"The Remedy," "The Right One," "Egging Her On," "Innocent," and "Profitable Flattery"—are brief comedic sketches about courtship, marriage, and romantic deception, typical of Judge's focus on middle-class social interactions and romantic follies. The photographs below show a horse-drawn wagon—likely part of an advertisement or separate story.
