# "Saint Suburbanite and the Dragon" This illustration depicts a small human figure confronting an enormous dragon in a dramatic scene. The caption titles it "Saint Suburbanite and the Dragon," suggesting a satirical take on the medieval saint-slaying-dragon legend, but updated to modern (early 20th century) times. The "suburbanite" appears to be an ordinary citizen facing down a massive serpent, likely representing some threat to suburban life or American society. Without additional context from the magazine's issue, the specific dragon being referenced is unclear—it could represent a political threat, corporate power, labor unrest, or another contemporary concern that Judge's readership would have recognized. The artwork is credited to "R.B. Fuller" (visible in the lower right).
