# Analysis of Judge Page This page contains three separate humorous pieces typical of early 20th-century Judge magazine: **Top cartoon**: Shows a cherub or cupid figure kicking a judge off his bench, with the caption suggesting romantic entanglement interfering with judicial duties—satirizing how personal relationships can compromise professional judgment. **"No Problem For Us"**: A poem by R.C. O'Brien about married couples disagreeing on vacation destinations. The accompanying sketch shows a husband and wife with a dog, illustrating marital compromise during vacation planning. The humor lies in the relatable domestic conflict over where to spend time off. **"Yes, Yes"**: A brief joke contrasting deaf/mute people's directness (calling elevators by knocking repeatedly) with hearing people's passivity (waiting for someone else to call). It's likely an attempt at humor through disability observation, though by modern standards it reads as dated and potentially offensive.
