# Political Cartoon Analysis: Judge Magazine, November 30, 1918 This page contains two satirical cartoons published just after World War I's armistice (November 11, 1918). **Top cartoon**: Depicts "General Personio" (likely General John Pershing, U.S. commander) as a large dachshund being ridden by Allied soldiers, with "starvation" looming below. This mocks how Germany faced severe food shortages leading to surrender. **Bottom cartoon ("Hungry Fritzie!")**: Shows a German figure (identified by label "German People") being juggled or tossed by an Allied hand pouring from a bottle labeled "Allies' Deprecation Peace." Smaller figures scatter around, representing German citizens suffering from hunger and deprivation during the war's end. Both cartoons celebrate Allied victory while satirizing Germany's collapse from starvation and military defeat.
