# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page This page contains several unrelated satirical pieces typical of Judge's humor format: **Main Cartoon ("Correct, Ed—a fine all-round girl!")**: Shows a woman diving or bathing, with a man complimenting her athleticism. The satire appears to praise women's physical independence and swimming ability—relatively modern for the era. **"Overhead"**: Brief satirical commentary on a dancing master's pretentious lifestyle, with waxed floors and fallen plaster. **"The Right Word"**: A marital argument joke about semantics—the husband calls his wife an "obstacle" (hindrance), she corrects him that it's more accurately an "obstinate" person. **"How to Avoid Traffic Cops"**: Humorous advice suggesting not owning a car at all. **"Office Boy—Golly!"**: An office scene joke about missing a baseball game. The humor is gentle, domestic, and topical rather than political.
