# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page **Main Cartoon (top):** Drawn by Gilbert Wilkinson, this depicts a rescue scene at a beach. One figure sits on a post calling "He—Come on! I'll save you!" while another appears to be drowning. The woman responds skeptically: "She—Oh yes, I know that! You'd save me before I was properly drowned!" This satirizes male heroics and chivalry—mocking the assumption that women need or want rescuing. The joke suggests men rush to "save" women prematurely or unnecessarily, playing up their own importance. **Lower Section:** Titled "Question" by Wm. S. Adkins, this appears to be humorous dialogue about marriage, poker, and domestic life—typical Judge magazine content mixing social commentary with light domestic satire. The overall tone reflects early-to-mid 20th century attitudes toward gender relations and marital dynamics.
