# "Hey, There, You! Quit Destroying My Autograph Album!" This cartoon, drawn by Ange MacDonald, depicts a figure climbing a large tree trunk (apparently meant to represent a notable public figure or celebrity), while smaller figures below protest. The caption suggests someone is "destroying" an autograph album—likely a satirical commentary on a public figure's reputation or legacy being damaged. The exact historical reference is unclear without additional context, but the humor relies on the autograph album as a metaphor for public image or legacy. The climbing figure seems to be damaging or defacing this symbolic "album." This type of satire was common in *Judge* magazine, which frequently mocked public figures and social behavior through exaggerated visual metaphors.
