# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page This page contains several humor pieces and cartoons typical of early 20th-century satirical magazines: **"Reverse Kipling"** and **"Too Expensive"** are brief written jokes poking fun at social pretensions and bureaucratic inefficiency (the Scotland story about a boil consultation). **The main cartoon** depicts a young man being ejected from or confronted at a basketball team's venue, captioned "The young man who got fresh with the captain of the girls' basketball team." This is straightforward slapstick humor about sexual harassment/boundary-crossing, with the woman physically rejecting unwanted advances. **"Arms and the Woman"** is a poem about romantic rejection following vaccination (the woman refuses kisses because of arm soreness from a vaccine). **"King Solomon" illustration** shows a man in bed counting—a joke about having many children, referencing Solomon's biblical reputation for numerous offspring. The humor is typical of period comedy: domestic, romantic mishaps, and physical farce.
