# "Judging the News" - Judge Magazine Satire This page contains brief satirical commentary on contemporary news topics paired with cartoon illustrations. The main cartoon depicts a burglar caught mid-crime, confronted by a woman who sarcastically asks, "Stand still, ya dumb-bell, d'ya want her t' hitcha?" The accompanying text jokes appear to reference: - **Aviation stunts** in Nebraska - **Prohibition-era concerns** about corner saloons versus filling stations - **Used car sales** where appearance ("can't be as good as it usually is painted") masks actual condition The cartoons use visual humor and vernacular dialogue to mock contemporary social issues of the era. The burglar cartoon specifically satirizes either crime or domestic situations, though the exact social commentary remains somewhat unclear from the limited context provided.
