# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page This page contains three separate humor pieces typical of early 20th-century satirical magazines: **Top cartoon**: A domestic scene where a man has been rescued from drowning. His wife thanks the rescuer but then immediately complains about her husband's missing necktie—satirizing wives' concern with propriety and appearance over genuine concern for their husbands' welfare. **"What It Showed"**: A Sunday School joke playing on children's innocent misinterpretation. When a teacher describes people bowing before a king, a child concludes the king "could stand his liquor better" than others—humor derived from the child hilariously connecting bowing/kneeling with drunkenness rather than reverence. **Egyptian tomb reference**: A brief joke about an ancient document signed "Sneferuw," suggesting even Pharaohs used the "touch system" of typewriting—anachronistic absurdist humor. **Bottom cartoon**: A joke about a woman named Nancy Hiflite's refined appearance, with the punchline that her face has been refined through "processes" (likely cosmetic procedures)—mocking women's use of beauty treatments.
