# Judge Magazine, July 11, 1923 - Analysis This page contains three separate satirical pieces rather than a unified cartoon. **"Rewards of College Life"** mocks the idea that college education guarantees success, suggesting instead that graduates end up unemployed or dependent on family. **"Just So"** presents a brief dialogue about cinema, with the joke apparently turning on differing perspectives about movie quality or attendance. **The main cartoon** depicts an angry motorist (named Jenkins) confronting someone about a car accident or reckless driving. The caption's humor relies on the motorist's ironic complaint that he wouldn't have gone out if he'd known Jenkins was driving—implying Jenkins is a dangerously bad driver whose mere presence on the road should keep others home. The page reflects 1920s concerns about automobile safety and reckless drivers, presented through typical Judge-style satirical humor.
