What you’re looking at

# Analysis This page from *Judge* contains two cartoons satirizing leisure activities: **Top cartoon:** Shows a man relaxing on a summer camp porch, gazing at scenery. The caption suggests columnists enjoy such peaceful retreats—likely satirizing how journalists romanticize vacation time or escape urban life while writing about it. **Bottom cartoon:** Depicts people playing tennis with longer-handled rackets. The caption jokes that longer handles make "the game less exhausting"—mocking the tendency to modify activities to reduce physical effort, or satirizing lazy recreationalists who want sport's appearance without its demands. Both cartoons target upper-class leisure culture and the shortcuts people take to avoid genuine exertion, common *Judge* themes lampooning American affluence and pretension.
