# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page, October 29, 1927 This page features "Celebrated Sayings"—famous historical quotes humorously attributed to unlikely figures. Examples include "An apple a day keeps the doctor away" credited to Adam, and "It floats!" to Noah. The bottom illustration by C.D. Townsend depicts a Western scene labeled "T. Mix—Howdy, Lon. How goes it?" This references **Tom Mix**, the wildly popular silent-film cowboy star of the 1920s. The joke appears to play on Mix's iconic status and frontier persona, with the cartoon rendering him amid exaggerated Western imagery (totem poles, Native Americans, mountains). The satire relies on contemporary celebrity recognition—Mix was ubiquitous in popular culture during this era.
