# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page This page contains several satirical pieces: **"It was a crazy idea to put a store here in the first place!"** - A cartoon showing a storefront destroyed by wind/weather, with a small figure amid debris. The satire targets poor business decisions or unfortunate locations. **"He Was Hungry"** by Nate Collier depicts urban poverty—a starving man in a tenement finds no food, so he must eat at a restaurant, reversing expected class dynamics as social commentary. **"The Thundering Heard!"** (Lizzie Labels) appears to be wordplay satire, though unclear without fuller context. **"Roasts of the Day"** and **"Appropriate Menus for a Golfer"** are humorous food-related pieces unrelated to political satire. The bottom cartoon about "the Sultan" likely references Ottoman politics, though specifics are unclear from the image alone.

His fire was out, and although spring was in the air a cold wind was blowing. He sat by the window and shivered. He was hungry. It seemed years since he had tasted food. There wasn’t a crust in the house. The larder wasempty. Must he starve like th Alone and friendless in this cheerless attic room? Hunger gnawed and gnawed. He looked again, in the icebox, in the cupboard, everywhere. Not a crumb. So he went out to a restau- rant and ate a big dinner.
