# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page The main cartoon depicts a domestic dispute. A woman sits in an armchair while a man stands nearby; the caption reads: "It's no use, Lucretius—we can't be divorced, we've got to stay together for their sake!" A dog lies in the foreground, apparently the "their" referenced—the couple must remain married for the pet's welfare, a satirical reversal of the common excuse "staying together for the children." The surrounding text reports on Democratic National Convention news from various cities, mentioning delegates, speeches, and political gossip. This appears to be part of Judge's "Pre-Convention News Service," mixing political reporting with humorous commentary typical of the magazine's satirical approach to contemporary events. The cartoon's joke mocks the rationalization people use to justify unhappy marriages.

Blank- le of Abilene, Kan., who is here as a delegate to the Democratic National Convention. ‘And that reminds me of the story about the boy who red the advertisement. It seems there was a sign in front of one of the largest stores in this city in those days, that said ‘Boy Wanted.’ A large crowd of lads was waiting in line early in the morning. One boy along, picked up the sign, took it in to the man who was hiring the young fellows, who said ‘Here, boy, what are you doing with that sign? ‘You won't need it any longer,’ said the bright-eyed urchin, ‘for I am the one you want.’ “Nees to say. concluded = Mr. Blankley, “he got the job.
