# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page This page contains two unrelated cartoon sketches by different artists (Cesare and E. H. Bartz). **Top cartoon:** Shows a woman ("Sister") scolding a boy named Willie for disobeying her—specifically for feeding an elephant again. The humor appears to be simple domestic comedy: a child repeatedly misbehaves despite being told not to, likely sneaking food to an elephant (perhaps at a zoo or circus). **Bottom cartoon:** Depicts a domestic scene where a child warns their father not to wake papa, as "He may be having a terrible nightmare." The joke relies on the ironic suggestion that papa's sleep—however troubled—is preferable to his waking presence. Both are generic family humor rather than political satire, typical of Judge's entertainment content.
