# Judge Magazine Comic Analysis This page contains two cartoons satirizing early 20th-century social behavior. **Top cartoon**: A husband and wife attend what appears to be a lively party. The man wants to leave immediately ("Come on home, you darn fool!"), while the wife protests they've only just arrived. The joke mocks marital discord and differing social preferences—he finds parties tedious while she wants to stay and enjoy herself. **Bottom cartoon**: A guest samples what appears to be homemade alcohol (likely Prohibition-era bootleg liquor), asking the host if it has "a kick"—slang for alcoholic potency. The host's nervous reaction suggests the drink is dangerously strong. This satirizes the risks of Prohibition-era illegal liquor, which was often poorly made and unsafe. Both cartoons humorously capture domestic and social tensions of the era.
