# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page 2 This page contains two unrelated cartoon jokes: **Top cartoon**: A novice golfer asks his caddy where to aim his next shot. The caddy replies, "Bout half an inch over that feller's head"—suggesting the golfer is so inept he'll likely hit someone anyway. **Bottom cartoon**: A husband, apparently stopped by police for a traffic violation or accident, defensively tells his wife Emma, "You scabby old false alarm—er—a—I'm talking to the engine, Emma!" He's caught blaming mechanical failure rather than admitting poor driving. Both are domestic humor jokes typical of early 20th-century Judge magazine—poking fun at incompetent golfers and defensive husbands. They reflect contemporary attitudes toward emerging leisure activities (golf) and automobile ownership.
