# Judge Magazine: "Judge" - "Little Studies in Success: The R.O.T.C. lud" This page satirizes the Reserve Officers' Training Corps (R.O.T.C.), a military education program. The nine numbered panels show caricatured military figures in various poses—marching, saluting, instructing, and commanding—depicted in an exaggerated, comedic style typical of Judge's satirical approach. The cartoon appears to mock the R.O.T.C. program itself, possibly critiquing military pretension, rigid hierarchy, or the preparation of young officers. The title "Little Studies in Success" uses irony, suggesting these military poses represent supposed achievement. Without knowing the specific publication date, the exact historical context remains unclear, though R.O.T.C. programs were sometimes targets of satirical commentary regarding militarism and youth indoctrination.
