What you’re looking at
This page is primarily a **crossword puzzle feature**, not political satire. Judge magazine ran weekly crossword puzzles and paid $25 for accepted submissions—a notable prize during this era. The puzzle was submitted by Jack Shuttleworth of New York City. Below the grid is the answer key to the previous week's puzzle (No. 41), with clues like "EELS," "SLAVE," and "CRAPS" visible. The decorative header shows cartoon characters celebrating puzzle-solving, fitting Judge's satirical humor magazine format. The cartoon mascots at bottom corners are generic Judge mascots, not specific political figures. **Modern context**: This reflects the 1920s-30s crossword craze that swept America—puzzles were hugely popular entertainment. Judge capitalized on this trend by crowdsourcing puzzles from readers while maintaining editorial control over humor quality, as noted in the rules ("they must be funny").
