# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page The main cartoon, titled "STILL DEAF," depicts two figures in a carriage—likely representing Mrs. Oluttimer and Mrs. Pottle in domestic conversation. The joke plays on marital communication: one woman asks if her husband still calls her "dear little buttercup," and the other responds he wastes more butter trying to cook than an "Astor-house chef," suggesting indifference to romantic pet names. Below, several brief satirical items mock Republicans as "fanatics," criticize Governor Candler of Georgia regarding abolition debates, and comment on Irish immigration and Cuban postal service theft. The page primarily contains social/political commentary typical of late 19th-century American satire, with domestic humor alongside sharper political criticism.
