# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page (July 31, 1928) The page features "Judging the News," a satirical commentary section with brief topical jabs: - **Egyptian excavations**: Mocks the romantic notion that "good old days" existed in ancient Egypt - **Southern Methodists**: Jokes that Methodists want religion out of politics but won't vote for non-Protestants - **S.S. Leviathan ship sale**: Questions whether Americans will afford the down payment - **Goldenseal cure**: Suggests there's "a good wheeze" (con) behind the medical claim The main cartoon, "Sportsman's Wife," depicts a woman confronting her husband about taxidermied animal heads displayed in their home. Her comment "You brute, you! I suppose you're just wondering how I'd look stuffed!" is a humorous domestic complaint about his hunting trophies. The satire targets middle-class masculine leisure pursuits and spousal friction over home decoration choices.
