# Judge Magazine Page Analysis This page contains several unrelated humorous sketches typical of Judge's satirical format: **"To Be Expected"** depicts an inventor frustrated by factory workers striking every hour—a commentary on labor disputes and union organizing in the industrial era. **"Judge's Favorites"** quotes Bessie Clayton from "It Happened in Hoboland," apparently a theatrical production. **"Solomon Revised"** and **"His Triumph"** offer literary and philosophical humor without clear political reference. **"Advantageous Obesity"** shows a fat turkey escaping market, joking that obesity makes it unsaleable—satirizing both the turkey and attitudes about body size. **"Still Unconvinced"** depicts Uncle John resisting modern "jiu-jitsu" martial arts techniques, preferring old-fashioned fighting methods—mocking generational resistance to new trends. The page reflects early 20th-century concerns: labor unrest, technological change, and social modernization.
