# Judge Magazine Cartoon Analysis This is a "Fifty-Fifty Contest" where readers submit clever joke punchlines. The setup shows a bucking horse throwing its rider, with the first line: "Arline—How'd you like to meet the Prince of Wales?" The contestant must provide Ardeane's witty response. The humor likely plays on the Prince of Wales' reputation (circa 1924) combined with the wild horse situation. Without seeing submitted answers, the satire's exact target is unclear, but it appears to reference either the Prince's character, his romantic life, or his physical prowess—all common subjects of Judge's political and social satire during this era. The contest offers a $25 prize for the cleverest second line, deadline September 9, 1924.
