What you’re looking at

This page contains two satirical cartoons from Judge magazine: **Top cartoon ("First Skater"):** A man stands on frozen ground warning someone not to venture onto thin ice, calling them a "dern liar." The joke appears to be about someone making false claims about the ice's safety—the skater is being warned away from danger by someone who doesn't trust the other person's judgment. **Bottom cartoon ("Boxer"):** Depicts a boxer mid-punch during what appears to be a match, with spectators watching. The caption "Oh, baby! If this ever hits him!" suggests dark humor about the violence of boxing—expressing hope the punch lands solidly on the opponent. Both cartoons use physical danger (thin ice, boxing) as vehicles for humor, typical of Judge's satirical style. Without additional context or visible publication date, the specific political or social references remain unclear, though they appear to be commentary on trust, judgment, and entertainment.
