# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page The main cartoon "Veiled Boob Found Sizzling in Post Office" satirizes Hollywood's obsession with publicity stunts. It depicts reporters surrounding a woman at a post office, referencing offers supposedly made to actresses like Greta Garbo and others to remain in Hollywood through manufactured scandals or attention-grabbing schemes. The joke mocks both the desperation of studios to keep stars in America and the absurdity of using the postal system for publicity stunts. The right-side humor columns mock politicians and social situations. "A Permanent Job" (attributed to R.C. O'Brien) jokes about war correspondent work, while other items satirize senatorial speeches and social protocol for seating arrangements. The lower illustration appears to be an advertisement for a baby-rocking device.
