# Judge Magazine Commentary - December 10, 1927 This page features "Judging the News," a satirical section commenting on contemporary events. The main cartoon depicts a street scene with women in various states of undress or revealing clothing, with the caption "Skeptic—Oh, I don't think it's below zero today. 'Yes, it is. I can tell by the costumes the women wear.'" The joke satirizes the trend of women wearing increasingly minimal clothing despite cold weather—likely referencing the "flapper" era's fashion revolution of the 1920s. The cartoon mocks both women's liberation from restrictive Victorian dress codes and the contradiction between fashion trends and practical winter necessity. The accompanying text snippets comment on other topics: theater production, a cross-country hiking trip, Russian divorce procedures, and aviation safety—all contemporary news items filtered through satirical commentary.
