# "Poached Eggs" - Judge Magazine, September 30, 1916 This cartoon's title "Poached Eggs" appears to be a pun on "poached" (stolen/plagiarized) rather than the cooking method. The illustration shows a figure in period dress holding what appears to be eggs or stolen goods, glancing back over their shoulder in a guilty manner. The credited contributors listed below—Walt Mason, Strickland Gilliland, Clinton Scolland, and others—"stimulate that Happy Impulse in this Number," suggesting this is a humorous collection piece. Without clearer context about the 1916 political moment, the specific satirical target remains unclear, though the guilty expression and title suggest commentary on theft, plagiarism, or appropriation of some kind relevant to that era's public figures or events.
