# Cartoon Analysis: "Yes—Indeed!" This six-panel Judge comic satirizes a golfer's persistent attempts to make a difficult shot at a course marked "NO!" (likely a restricted or private area). The sequence shows: 1. A rotund golfer preparing an ambitious swing 2. His follow-through, with sound effect "TICK" 3. Him bending to retrieve the ball 4. Another swing attempt 5. His continued effort, marked "TICK" 6. His conclusion: "Tough course, isn't it?" The humor derives from the golfer's stubborn refusal to respect the "NO!" sign's prohibition. The repeated "TICK" sounds suggest multiple failed attempts. The final panel's deadpan response mocks his obtuseness—he attributes his failure to course difficulty rather than acknowledging he's breaking the rules. This likely satirizes broader social or political defiance of authority or regulations during the era when Judge magazine was published.
