# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page This page contains several unrelated humor pieces typical of Judge magazine's format: **The Comic Strip** (top): Shows a woman in an elevator with various men. The caption "This is the height of something or other" appears to be a pun about elevator heights and romantic/social situations. **"Cured"**: A brief dialogue about someone overcoming the habit of talking to themselves in public. **"Immortal Utterance"**: A quip about Thomas Jefferson's Declaration of Independence and long-term consequences. **"Technique"**: A flirting joke about closing eyes while kissing. **Bottom Illustration**: Shows a man peering under a woman on a couch, captioned as seeking "the love light in a flapper's eyes"—satirizing outdated romantic notions about 1920s women (flappers). The page primarily offers social humor about dating, courtship, and changing modern manners rather than political satire.

Every male parent is a Daddy but every Daddy isn’t a mate parent. It’s dangerous to marry a wo- man who looks good in black. Cured Nitt—You used to go along the street talking to yourself, and now you don’t do it any more. How did you get over it? Witt—I cured myself. I knew I did it and I got mad at myself for doing it. Finally, I got so mad at myself that I decided I wouldn’t talk to myself any more, and I didn’t and I was cured.
