# Two Cartoons from Judge Magazine **Top cartoon:** "The poor bozo who fell overboard during the beauty parade." Shows a man in a small boat being fished out of water while an elegant yacht passes by. The satire appears to mock the contrast between high-society "beauty parades" (likely yacht club events) and ordinary working-class misfortune—the irony being the man's crisis occurs during a celebration of beauty and leisure. **Bottom cartoon:** A man has crashed through furniture and is sprawled on the floor, having apparently fallen from above. He jokes about calling a "Pet Shoppe" for a "Great Dane and send up a Pekinese"—likely making light of his accident by suggesting he needs large dogs to break his fall. The humor targets both slapstick physical comedy and upper-class affectations regarding expensive dog breeds.
