# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page (November 5, 1927) The main cartoon depicts an early airplane with "RECORD" marked on it, piloted by someone writing a wavy line across the sky labeled "RECORD." Below, a wife tells her husband Henry she'll "stay at home when you have hay-fever!"—a pun on "hay-fever" versus "Hereafter." This satirizes contemporary aviation record-breaking attempts, which were frequent headlines in the 1920s. The joke plays on Henry's apparent aerial exploits and hay-fever complaints. The "Judging the News" section above contains brief satirical items about contemporary topics: a German doctor's baldness cure, General Motors' railroad business, Austrian monument-building, and a survey about working women's clothing expenses. The overall tone mocks modern consumer culture and contemporary news stories through light ridicule.
