# "Judging the News" - August 11, 1928 This satirical page from Judge magazine contains three main sections: **Top strip**: Five caricatured figures reading newspapers with exaggerated headlines about various scandals and political issues of 1928. **Text commentary**: Brief satirical pieces on current events, including: - Senator Heflin's political troubles - Mexico electing presidents for six-year terms - Bill Tilden's reinstatement in tennis - John J. Raskob (Democratic National Chairman) and Prohibition enforcement **Bottom cartoon**: Titled "Georgie—But, Mamma, we can't play we're married unless you let Effie have the pistol," depicts children role-playing with a toy car and gun, satirizing the prevalence of violence or weapons in contemporary society/entertainment. The overall effect critiques 1928's political scandals, inconsistent governance, and concerns about violence and crime in American culture.
