# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page This page contains two unrelated cartoons with captions: **Top cartoon** (drawn by Gilbert Wilkinson): Shows two people on horseback in a steeplechase or racing context. One rider has dropped their whip and asks another named Steve to lend theirs, saying "I've just dropped mine!" This appears to be a straightforward sporting joke about horse racing. **Bottom cartoon** (drawn by Cesare): Shows a car that has crashed into a pole, with a person standing nearby. The caption suggests confusion about directions: "The guide book shows a schoolhouse here. Kansas—That was, stranger, an' that was a cyclone, too." This jokes about a tornado destroying a Kansas schoolhouse, playing on the region's notorious severe weather.
