# Analysis of Judge Page: Two Cartoons **Top Cartoon:** Shows a figure being chased from "Pete's Lunch" restaurant at night with a sign advertising "Shortest Orders in Town." The caption reads "I'm lucky to get a trolley this time of night!" — satirizing either poor restaurant service or the luck required to escape quickly. **Bottom Cartoon:** Titled "Burglars," depicts burglars breaking into a home while a couple sleeps in bed. The husband asks his wife: "For goodsake Emma! Can't you keep a secret?" — the joke being that the burglars heard about the burglary beforehand, suggesting the wife couldn't keep quiet about the planned theft or the couple's valuable possessions. Both cartoons employ domestic/everyday scenarios for comedic effect typical of Judge's satirical approach.
