# Analysis of Judge Magazine Cover (November 11, 1922) This Thanksgiving-themed cover by artist F.B. Fuller depicts a child standing before a messy, chaotic kitchen scene with food scraps and a trash bin labeled "JESSEN." The caption reads: "C'mon, don't make a pig of yourself!" The satire appears to reference overconsumption or waste during holiday feasting. The "JESSEN" marking on the trash suggests this may target a specific contemporary figure or topic, though the precise reference is unclear from available context. The child's admonition against gluttony—ironically set against abundant food waste—likely critiques American excess during the prosperous 1920s, or possibly food waste during an era of rationing or economic concern.
