What you’re looking at

**Top cartoon:** A church box office attendant sells "good pews" to parishioners like theater seats. The satire mocks the commodification of religion—treating church attendance as a commercial transaction where the best seating positions require payment, reducing spiritual worship to entertainment venue economics. **Bottom cartoon:** Titled "There, but for the grace of God, goes Will Rogers!" shows a man in a vehicle marked "WR" in apparent distress or danger. This appears to reference Will Rogers, the famous humorist and social commentator of the early 20th century, likely satirizing his reputation or public persona, though the specific incident referenced is unclear without additional context. Both cartoons reflect *Judge* magazine's satirical approach to American social and religious hypocrisy.
