# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page The top cartoon, "His Satanic Majesty (to ex-barber)—Hot towel, sir?" depicts a demonic figure addressing someone identified as an "ex-barber." The satire likely mocks a specific individual who transitioned from barbering to another profession, possibly in entertainment or politics, suggesting pretensions or absurd elevation in status. The page's main content is "Little Travels: Merry England," a travelogue describing a London visit and subsequent English sightseeing. The accompanying text discusses Christopher Columbus as a "distinguished visitor," praising his entertainment value while critiquing his historical claims about discovering America and converting indigenous peoples. Below are lighter humor sections including "Funnybones" and "Krazy Kracks," typical Judge filler content from this era.

We had been in the largest city in the world several hours without even knowing it. It is true we had been lost, but lost collectively and not individually. We had managed to keep together by calling out to each - other from time to time: “Are you _ there, old top?” “Cheerio!’”’ “Toodle- doo, milord!”” “Twill jolly well soon clear up, dontcha know!” “I old ‘thing, keep up your bloomin’ spirits!” ete.

We figured that our entire party would not occupy more space than a couple of horses; that is why we engaged but two stalls. We paid for our miscalculation by spending a very cramped evening. Piccadilly, Punch, Pall Mall, Scot- land Yard, the Strand, Limehouse, Big Ben, Charing Cross, the busses, trams and tubes; we saw them all. My word, we did. As our trip through England was a hurried one, we used at all times the most convenient form of locomo- tion. After leaving London-on- Thames, we flew through Newcastle- on-Tyne and Stoke-on-Trent. We motored through Stratford-on-Avon, Southend-on-Sea and Stockton-on- Tees, sped through Hull-on-bicycles, Sheffield-on-roller-skates and finally wound up at Liverpool-on-crutches. R.C.
