# Judge Magazine: "Judging the News" - February 29, 1928 This page contains satirical news commentary and a cartoon. The main illustration shows a man in a car driving recklessly past a small boy, with the caption "Little Brother: 'Hey, Pa—sis is taking the car without letting you know!'" The joke satirizes parental hypocrisy: a father appears to be stealing or joyriding in a car himself, yet would presumably punish his daughter for the same behavior. It reflects 1920s anxieties about automobiles, youth independence (particularly young women gaining mobility), and inconsistent family discipline. The "Judging the News" section above contains brief political commentary on topics including Russian popular songs, dental fraud statistics, and Democratic Party politics, written by Jack Shuttleworth.
