What you’re looking at

This page contains two unrelated cartoons from Judge magazine: **Top cartoon:** Shows a suburban homeowner attempting to remove a large rock from his garden by hand—a foolish, impractical approach. The satire mocks amateur gardeners who lack proper tools or knowledge. **Bottom cartoon:** Depicts a physical altercation, with one man chasing another while a third protests his own involvement in the fight, claiming self-defense rights. The humor appears to derive from the absurdity of his justification—suggesting someone who initiated trouble now claims victimhood. Both cartoons use everyday domestic/neighborhood scenarios to satirize human foolishness and flawed logic. Without specific historical dating visible, the exact topical references remain unclear, though both employ gentle social satire typical of Judge's humor style.
