# Judge Magazine Page Analysis This page contains summer-themed humor and satire typical of Judge magazine's style. **"Summer Madness"** is a poem celebrating summer activities—swimming, camping, flying—with repeated refrain "Summer, dear summer, is here once again." The accompanying airplane sketches illustrate recreational aviation. **"The Patriot Model"** cartoon depicts a car with a man standing during the national anthem's rendition, while another figure appears to be driving recklessly or aggressively. The caption indicates this is satirizing someone who makes a patriotic gesture (standing for the anthem) while behaving badly otherwise—mocking performative patriotism disconnected from actual conduct. **"Modern Story"** section offers brief cynical observations about marriage and divorce, typical of Judge's humor attacking social pretension and relationship dynamics. The overall page emphasizes leisure, modern technology (automobiles, aviation), and social hypocrisy.

JUDGE Summer Madness Leap for the flivver when Sunday is born, Keep to the right as you toot the old horn, Heap all your garbage in yon wooded glen— Summer, dear summer, is here once Sweet is the fragrance that floats on the breeze, “Tweet” go the birdies that chirp in the trees, Fleet are the flappers pursuing their men— Summer, dear summer, is here once again, Now are the days when we're short of ambish. Loafing and lazing seem simply delish. Camp on the mountain or tramp through the fen— Summer, dear summer, is here once ain, Sigh for the sea and the free breakers’ smash— I for the lea have a powerful pash! Why?
