# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page This page contains two distinct pieces: **"The Eternal Triangle"** (right): A satirical story about office romance. Oscar pursues business success while Ella pines for him. Miggs, a rival, uses underhanded tactics to sabotage Oscar. The satire mocks typical melodramatic romantic triangles of the era—specifically how workplace ambition and romantic jealousy create conflict. The moral appears to be that virtue (Oscar's integrity) ultimately triumphs over Miggs's deception, a common Judge theme promoting middle-class values. **Left page**: Features a swimming cartoon captioned "Hopeful Gentleman—Pardon, me, sir, do you happen to have seen anything of a small silver wrist watch?" The joke is straightforward: the swimmer has lost his watch in the water and desperately asks another swimmer, humorously oblivious that his question is absurd in that context.
