# Analysis of Judge Magazine, November 27, 1926 The main cartoon depicts a traffic safety joke. A driver signals with an exaggerated mechanical arm-and-hand contraption at a street corner, with the caption: "How to get the man behind to pay more attention to your signals." The satire mocks both poor driver communication and inattentive motorists. The elaborate, comical signaling device represents frustration with drivers who ignore standard hand signals—a genuine safety problem in the 1920s before standardized turn signals existed on vehicles. The accompanying text discusses unrelated topics: Harvard-Princeton football rivalry, a criminal arrest in New York, a proposed Mars space mission's cost, and a Chicago doctor's chemical analysis comparing men's and women's value. These represent typical Judge magazine content—satirizing news, academia, and social commentary.
