# Analysis This Judge magazine cover from March 27, 1920, titled "How Do You Get That Way?" depicts a soldier in military uniform (appears to be World War I-era, given the 1920 date and style) gesturing upward in frustration or confusion, while a woman in an elegant robe stands beside him looking away. The cartoon likely satirizes the readjustment struggles of returning WWI veterans. The soldier's exasperated gesture and the title suggest commentary on either romantic complications post-war or the difficulty veterans faced reintegrating into civilian society and expectations. The woman's aloof demeanor may represent either romantic rejection or civilian indifference to soldiers' wartime experiences. This reflects 1920s anxieties about returning servicemen and social change.
