# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page **Top cartoon:** A domestic comedy about a vegetarian father. Cecil reassures Gladys that her father can't eat him, joking that the father might want to after seeing what Gladys is "like"—implying she's unattractive or undesirable. The humor relies on the casual cruelty typical of early 20th-century satire about courtship and women's appearance. **Bottom cartoon:** A tourist humor piece mocking mountain scenery. The guide claims the echo from yelling in bed will naturally wake the tourist at sunrise—a tall tale playing on rural/frontier stereotypes about dramatic landscapes and the gullibility of city tourists. The exaggeration is the joke's entire point. Both cartoons feature straightforward, era-typical humor without apparent political content.
