# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page This page contains several unrelated comic vignettes typical of Judge's format: **"As It Listeth"** - A poem mocking romantic pretense, featuring the "Spider Telephone" cartoon (unclear reference). **"Judge's Favorites"** - Satirizes a public figure named "Theodora" (possibly a political wife), suggesting she gives contradictory advice depending on audience. **"Getting Neckst"** - A humorous story about a farmer punishing a hen, with implied sexual innuendo in the title and the farmer's comment about it "hurting" more than the bird. **"Poor Beggar!"** - A class-commentary cartoon where a poor man proposing to a wealthy widow is rejected because she considers him beneath her station—satirizing social pretension and marriage hypocrisy among the wealthy. The page reflects Judge's characteristic blend of social satire, wordplay, and class commentary.
