# Judge Magazine, January 29, 1927 - Cartoon Analysis The main cartoon depicts two figures on opposite rooftops calling across a snowy street at night. One shouts "Cheese it!" another "Shut up!" and a third "Who'll can sleep" — suggesting noisy neighbors in winter quarters, likely during Prohibition enforcement. The caption "Say, Bill, which way is North?" / "Search me!" / "My Gawd, we're lost!" implies the figures are disoriented or possibly fleeing—a common satirical trope during Prohibition about bootleggers or those evading authorities. The surrounding brief articles mock contemporary issues: rubber pavements for noise reduction in London, a movie theater's elaborate amenities, and Prohibition's ineffectiveness ("hard to get a really good drink unless you are a policeman, a Prohibition agent or a revnuer").
