# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page The main cartoon, titled "Rabbit Pie," depicts anthropomorphic rabbits in a chaotic scene with the caption: "Soak him, fellows! He's the one that's been chasing us all over." This appears to be a political allegory about predatory behavior or pursuit. The rabbits—typically prey animals—have turned tables to attack their hunter. The cartoon likely comments on a contemporary political figure or policy being "chased" or pursued, now facing retaliation from those victimized. The accompanying text discusses Bishop Potter's criticism of uneducated clergy, advocating for better theological training. The page also addresses various topics including the South African War and social issues. Without clearer historical context about the specific 1890s-1900s political figure referenced, the exact target of satire remains uncertain, though the cartoon's message about victims retaliating against a pursuer is evident.
