What you’re looking at

This Judge magazine cartoon satirizes judicial incompetence or lack of common sense. A well-dressed figure labeled "MODIFICATION" stands in heavy rain, appearing oblivious or unwilling to seek shelter despite being soaked. A smaller figure peers from a doorway marked "MODIFICATION," seemingly bewildered by this behavior. The caption—"Don't know enough to come in out of the rain"—is a common idiom meaning someone lacks basic intelligence or judgment. The cartoon likely critiques a specific legal modification or court decision of the era as fundamentally foolish or counterproductive. Without knowing the exact historical moment, the precise legal matter remains unclear, but the satire targets judicial reasoning as absurdly incompetent, choosing harmful action over obvious protective measures.
