What you’re looking at
# Page Analysis This page from *Judge* magazine contains three brief satirical dialogue exchanges commenting on post-World War I social concerns: **"TRUE ENOUGH"** mocks government attempts at criminal reform, suggesting rehabilitation is futile. **"BACK TO NORMAL"** references the post-war return to civilian life, with a joke about aesthetic dancers (likely referring to modern interpretive dancers) requiring medical attention—possibly alluding to their unconventional or physically demanding performances. **"AYE! AYE!"** appears to joke about war veterans' transition to civilian occupations, with a reference to "horse doctors" and mechanics, suggesting humorous confusion about what professions returning soldiers might pursue. The illustration shows period-dressed figures in what appears to be a street scene, though the specific narrative connection to these captions remains unclear from the image alone.

“How did you ever recognize Edith with her mask on?” “Oh, I saw her down at Palm Beach!” TRUE ENOUGH “Then you have decided not to marry him to reform him?” “Such is my decision. If the Gov- ernment can’t reform him, what chance have I?” BACK TO NORMAL “Things are getting back to normal.” “Eh?” “A good many of these esthetic dancers have had to return to bur- lesque.” AYE! AYE! Old One—Wonder what’s happened to all of the horse doctors? Younger One—If I can judge from my experience, they've become auto mechanics. comicbooks.com
