# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page This page features **"The Annual Outing of 'Judge' Contributors,"** a humorous essay by S. L. Perelman describing a magazine staff picnic. The **top cartoon** shows men in suits and hats at a beach, examining toy construction equipment and vehicles. The caption "Let's work it once more, before we go, Al!" suggests they're treating the outing like work rather than recreation—a joke about editorial staff unable to relax. The **bottom photograph** shows men in a rowboat, identified as "Barksdale Seuss driving for pennies while Gardner Rea, Gardner Hanley, and Gardner Lippmann coach their horses." This appears to be a playful record of actual staff members at the outing, with the absurd scenario (driving for pennies, coaching horses from a boat) adding comedic exaggeration to what was likely an ordinary recreational gathering.
