# Political Cartoon Analysis The page contains two satirical cartoons from *Judge* magazine, likely from the early 1900s. **Top cartoon ("Wild Awake in Dreamland"):** Shows a caricatured figure with an exaggerated Mickey Mouse-style head wielding a large club, swinging wildly at smaller figures labeled "Graft" below. The setting appears to be a European city (possibly depicting anti-corruption efforts abroad). The figure seems to represent American political reform or intervention against corruption. **Bottom cartoon ("The Lesson of the Right"):** Depicts a woman at a U.S. Shipyard holding navy plans, surrounded by state labels (Kansas, Vermont visible). She appears to be instructing or demonstrating to figures representing different states, likely satirizing federal shipbuilding policy or naval expansion decisions and their distribution across regions. Both cartoons employ exaggeration and caricature typical of early political satire.
