# Two Judge Magazine Cartoons **Top cartoon:** A judge's chambers scene where a witness testifies that a defendant "left durn quick when he saw me here." The satire appears to target someone's guilty conscience or suspicious behavior upon encountering judicial authority. **Bottom cartoon:** Titled "The optician who used to be in the show business," this depicts a man in an optician's office with a sign advertising "Poxfury" (likely a patent medicine or theatrical product). The joke seems to satirize a former showman who has left entertainment for a more respectable profession—optometry. The woman on the right with theatrical appearance suggests the contrast between his former and current occupations. This mocks either the decline of vaudeville careers or the dubious legitimacy of patent medicine salesmanship.
