# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page This page contains several unrelated humor pieces typical of Judge magazine's format: **Top cartoon**: Shows people in flying vehicles amid clouds, discussing travel. The joke satirizes how even visiting exotic locations feels mundane in modern times. **"Of Course" poem**: Family members list various tourist attractions they want to visit, poking fun at predictable vacation itineraries. **"Stop, Look and Lizn"**: A pun-titled piece about a stubborn can that refuses to work—likely mocking consumer product reliability. **"Sad Case"**: Brief anecdote about a self-made boss who worked excessively. **Bottom cartoon**: Shows a vintage automobile arriving at what appears to be Heaven's gates, with an angel asking "Where's the tourist camp?"—sarcastically suggesting even the afterlife has become a tourist destination. The page reflects 1920s-30s preoccupations with modern tourism, automobiles, and consumerism.

My old bus may not have four wheel brakes and balloon tires but I’m going to keep it just the same. I know I should have a car with a self-starter, and I know that chain drives are passé, but as I said before no new car for me. Not that I’m senti- mental or enjoy cranking it, or think that kerosene lights are better than electric ones, or like to see a car with the paint all cracked off it, but I’m darned if I'm going to turn it in before I’ve made the last payment on it. —J.S.
