# Page 37 from Judge Magazine This page contains several short humorous sketches and poems rather than unified political cartoons. The content appears to be satirical domestic humor typical of Judge's social commentary: **"During the Altercation"** depicts a domestic dispute where a wife corrects her husband's language. **"Exemplifying a Proverb"** illustrates the saying about "slip 'twixt cup and lip" through a mishap with feathers. **"In a Sad Plight"** shows a man trying to preserve feathers from scattering. Other sketches include "Inharmonious Harmony" (mocking a woman's appearance), "Almost a Bad" (about a veteran), and "Didn't Mind the Notice" (about a horse being teased). The bottom panels, numbered I-IV, tell a sequential story about farmers and hay-related mishaps, with dialect humor. The satire targets working-class domestic life and rural incompetence rather than specific political figures or events.
