# "Take Your Choice" - Judge Magazine Cartoon Analysis This page presents two cartoon scenarios depicting vacation choices. The upper cartoon shows a man being pressured to visit mountains ("come up here...instead of going to the shore"), while the lower cartoon depicts seaside complications—a woman complaining that salt water ruins her hair and she needs mountain air for health. The satire mocks the contemporary debate between two competing vacation destinations (mountains vs. seashore) and the contradictory health claims made by resort promoters. It's also commentary on the conflicting advice people received about which environment benefited health—a genuine concern in the early 20th century when fresh mountain air and sea air were both marketed as medicinal cures. The humor lies in the absurd, circular logic: neither destination satisfies everyone.
