# Analysis of This Judge Magazine Page This page contains two cartoons with Easter themes, likely from early 20th-century Judge magazine. **"A Hot Cross Bun"** (top): Shows an anthropomorphic rabbit in clothes being chased, surrounded by scattered items. The accompanying story describes a couple's Easter morning discovery of burglary—the "haul" being precious items stolen from their home. The rabbit illustration appears to be decorative rather than satirical commentary. **"The Day That Never Comes"** (bottom): A surreal illustration showing a tiny figure dwarfed by enormous buildings covered in procrastination messages ("TOMORROW," "I WILL," "NEXT WEEK," "LATER," "DO IT NOW," etc.). This is social satire about chronic procrastination—the commentary criticizes humanity's tendency to perpetually delay action, with "the day that never comes" being when people actually follow through on intentions. Both cartoons use Easter imagery for topical humor.
