# Judge Magazine Page Analysis This page contains humor pieces by R.C. O'Brien rather than political cartoons. The main cartoon shows a skyscraper worker who's fallen twenty minutes and jokes about needing rest—dark humor about workplace danger. The text pieces are domestic comedies: - **"No Harm Done"**: A joke about a letter carrier shot by someone mistaking him for a Confederate soldier, stopping the bullet. - **"More Fitting"**: Humor about family nameplates on doorbells, noting "O'Brien and Company" is more descriptive than typical surnames. - **"Looking Ahead"**: A quip about an elderly bachelor saving money because "women fall for old guys with money." The final item comments that having a female U.S. president would mean one fewer holiday annually. These pieces reflect early-20th-century American domestic humor conventions.
