# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page **Top Cartoon: "Noah (drunk)—Jehosaphat! I've got 'em again—I'm seeing double!"** This depicts a biblical Noah figure intoxicated and seeing double vision of an "Athletic Ogre"—a muscular, grotesque creature. The satire appears to mock someone's athletic prowess or physical appearance through the lens of drunken perception. The biblical reference suggests moral commentary on excessive drinking or delusion. **Bottom Cartoon: "Well, Mabel, how was the fishing up at Jazz Lake?" / "No luck! I had good bait, but my line wasn't strong enough to hold 'em."** This fishing dialogue is a double entendre—the "fishing" and "line" reference likely allude to romantic or social pursuits during the Jazz Age, with the woman's response humorously suggesting her failed romantic endeavors were beyond her capacity to manage.
