# November 20, 1926 Judge Magazine Analysis The main cartoon depicts a dinner scene with the caption: "How do you like your egg, madam?" / "Oh—just so-so—I married him on a bed." This is a marriage joke playing on a double meaning: the woman is punning on marrying her husband "on a bed" (likely meaning they eloped or married hastily/informally) while the host interprets it as a comment about how eggs are cooked—"in bed" (as in eggs Benedict). The humor relies on this verbal miscommunication typical of 1920s magazine humor. The accompanying text discusses unrelated topics: Shakespeare films, Russian cinema technology, New York's Volstead Act (Prohibition), and English castles. These appear to be standard magazine content rather than connected to the cartoon's satire.

This perhaps accounts for the number of scenario writers who live in Europe. One of the oldest castles in Eng- land is said to have rooms that have not been touched for more than four hundred years.
