# Judge Magazine, May 25, 1927 - Analysis The main cartoon depicts a woman with legs prominently displayed, sitting in what appears to be a train compartment with a conductor and an older man. The woman says: "Lady—Conductor, call a policeman, this man is staring at me." This is satirizing the era's social anxieties about women's changing fashion and behavior in the 1920s. The "flapper" era featured women wearing shorter skirts, which scandalized conservative society. The joke mocks the absurdity of calling police over a man's stare—suggesting that if women display their legs, they shouldn't complain about male attention. It reflects the period's conflicted attitudes toward women's liberation and changing social norms during Prohibition era America.
