# "Judge" Page Analysis: "The Call of the Deep" This page contains a humorous article titled "Choosing One's Pajamas" offering advice on selecting nightwear colors based on mood and personality. The accompanying illustration by Otto Lang, captioned "The Call of the Deep," depicts a surreal scene: a man at a desk surrounded by oversized fish appearing to emerge from or encircle his workspace. The cartoon likely satirizes the article's somewhat absurd, overwrought tone about pajama selection. The fish imagery creates visual humor through incongruity—mixing mundane domestic concerns (pajamas) with fantastical elements (marine creatures). This appears to be typical of Judge magazine's blend of social commentary and absurdist humor targeting middle-class anxieties about proper etiquette and personal choices.
