# "Judge" Magazine, July 9, 1927 - "Judging the News" This page contains satirical commentary on current events rather than political cartoons. The "Judge" column critiques contemporary absurdities: 1. **Liquor permits in Ontario** - mocking bureaucratic licensing requirements 2. **Safety razors** - satirizing marketing claims for a product that supposedly works without losing efficiency 3. **Transatlantic aviation** - referencing Lindbergh's famous 1927 flight, joking that radio stations were already sensationalizing it 4. **Biology field trips** - poking fun at expeditions to collect specimens The bottom cartoon shows a couple returning from camping having killed a bear—a humorous domestic scene unrelated to the news items above. The satire targets consumer culture marketing, bureaucratic absurdity, and media sensationalism of the Jazz Age period.
