# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page **Top Cartoon: "The Good Time Coming"** This depicts a bar scene where a patron claims he'll pay his debts once deceased. The bartender skeptically responds the customer should live long enough to settle accounts now. The satire mocks those who make empty financial promises they never intend to honor—a common social complaint about unreliable debtors. **Bottom Cartoon: "It Reminds Him"** Mrs. Jones mentions her daughter's nightingale-like singing, prompting Uncle John to recall crickets he heard as a child. The humor lies in the uncle's tactless comparison—sarcastically suggesting the daughter's singing resembles insects rather than the flattering nightingale reference intended. Both cartoons use everyday domestic situations to satirize human character flaws: dishonesty and rudeness.
