# Judge Magazine Page Analysis This page collects several satirical humor pieces typical of Judge magazine's format: **Judge's Question Box** mocks advice columns by giving absurd pseudo-scientific responses. A man confesses to dandruff; the "Judge" responds with deliberately nonsensical medical jargon ("posterior amphibium tubes," "neo-chronic lemonade glands") and ridiculous remedies (raspberry jelly poultices, keeping your hat on). The satire targets both pretentious medical pseudoscience and the earnest confessional tone of real advice columns. **"Hot Mammas" and "Hot Weather Hints"** are summer-themed jokes illustrated with cartoons—a woman calling to her mother from cold water, and a portable bathtub for shopping. **"How to Combat Mosquitoes"** offers absurdist solutions: hanging nude art to distract mosquitoes, wearing a putty nose disguise, or playing "The Prisoner's Song" to kill them. This satirizes overly elaborate solutions to common problems. **"Local Color"** pokes fun at tourists and dialect humor—a farmer adopts exaggerated speech patterns ("gosh-ding") because summer boarders expect "authentic" rural dialect.

JUDGE JupGe’s Question Box [ rar Mr. JupGe: I am a young man of six and forty years, well dressed, when, as and if, well groomed, well done and have a steady income, when I work. IT have always (most of the time) led a strict moral life though I still do take a little chewing gum sometimes but it don’t last more than a few My terrible secret, though, is this: I got dandruff. I know I shouldn't tell you all this but—oh, Jupce, you are so good and kind and under- standing. Sometimes it gets so bad Tean't hardly get up in the morning early. I have tried long walks, cucumbers, bathing in April, hors med mushrooms on and transatlantic trips, but nothing scems to satisfy me. Just Terribly Upset deouvres, cre toas You big, bad, darling boy: 1 know just how you feel, Upset. But I wonder if you are just to yourself. Anyway, I like your middle name terribly. You know dandruff is a rather complicated reversal of the posterior amphibium tubes with the neo-chronic lemonade glands. It is usually the result of playing checkers in a slow outfield or perhaps you have been sleeping with your head outside the covers. I suggest tryin parts raspberry jelly and a few more of any old keepsakes you may have lying around the house. If this doesn’t cure you, you might try keeping your hat on all the time.
