# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page This page contains three separate satirical items: **Top Left Cartoon**: A father confronts his son about making liquor at college. The humor targets Prohibition-era hypocrisy—the father ironically criticizes the son's homemade alcohol while apparently drinking himself ("four years of chemistry...best liquor you can make"). It satirizes parents who condemned youth behavior while engaging in similar illegal activity. **Top Right**: A simple Adam-and-Eve joke about temptation and blame, captioned with a quote from John Milton's *Paradise Lost*. **Bottom Section**: "One College Man's Experience" humorously depicts a student's college memories, including a Scotch ad. The final cartoon jokes about a father opposing his son's college education, preferring he sell magazine subscriptions instead—satirizing working-class attitudes toward higher education.
