# Analysis This page is primarily an **advertisement for Judge magazine itself**, not political commentary. The cartoon strip titled "AND YOU'D DO THE SAME" depicts a series of scenes showing a man in formal attire repeatedly encountering a woman in a chair, with escalating physical comedy—ultimately involving what appears to be a large mallet or club. The advertisement below argues readers should buy Judge rather than commit violence against those who appreciate satire and humor. It's a self-promotional pitch emphasizing that Judge offers "the finest satire, the merriest wit and the most human humor"—suggesting readers find entertainment in the magazine instead of resorting to aggression. The ad cost 15¢ weekly and positioned Judge as essential American public reading.

(This advertisement is de- signed to make the great American Public’ JUDGE conscious,” as the ad writers say. It costs you 15c to be it ) AND YOU'D DO THE SAME Although this is justifiable, how much better it would be for you to rush from newsstand to newsstand until you could find another copy of JUDGE, rather than stain your hands with the blood of one whose worst fault was absorbed appreciation of the finest satire, the merriest wit and the most human humor.
