# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page This page contains humorous content aimed at parents and children rather than political satire. **"Bright Sayings of the Parents!"** solicits submissions of children's witty quotes, paying $5 per published entry. Two examples follow: 1. **Tony Pachagaluppe** (age 5-6) makes a joke about elephants at the zoo—asking how they shipped "dem big elephants from a one-a country to another," with his father's deadpan response about store trunks. 2. **Little Jones** (age 5.5) has centered her thoughts on "one great object"—likely a romantic crush, per Miss Smith/Eva's observation. The main cartoon depicts a family car turning right, with the caption explaining the father's driving decision. A separate "Misunderstanding" joke and "Funnybones" section round out the page's light humor content.
