# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page **Top Cartoon ("Testimonial")**: A Salvation Army band is asked to play "The Stein Song." The joke appears to mock the incongruity of a religious/temperance organization performing a drinking song—likely a reference to the popular "Stein Song," associated with beer and revelry. The humor relies on the assumption that the Salvation Army would find this request inappropriate or contradictory to their values. **Bottom Cartoon**: A man confronts another about making "mud pies," likely a euphemism for some undesirable behavior. The exact reference is unclear without additional context. **"The Class of 1930" Section**: A commencement address parody awarding humorous prizes to graduating students' fathers based on their contributions to university life (athletic support, financial persistence, etc.). This satirizes typical graduation ceremonies and parental involvement.
