# Judge Magazine Page Analysis This page contains three distinct humorous pieces: **"Judge" comic strip** (top): A wordless visual gag about a man encountering what appears to be Death (the Grim Reaper figure in black). The man attempts to escape through various stage entrances, with Death pursuing him—likely satirizing theatrical melodrama or the inevitability of mortality through slapstick. **"Decisive Victory"** (right column): Text celebrating Yale's early summer fundraising success for subscriptions, humorously framed as a competitive "battle" against other colleges. **"A Gambling Chance"** (middle): A narrative joke about a gambler named Sourdough Sam trying his luck at a spinning wheel, repeatedly getting "thirty-four" while waiting for "Kodiak Kate." The humor lies in his superstitious persistence and the frontier-style dialect. **"No Waiting"** (bottom right): A cartoon depicting shopkeepers attempting to correct customers' behavior during the straw hat season, with the caption suggesting summer fashion creates workplace chaos.

JUDGE Decisive Victory sturdy sons of Yale won a t victory during the first weck er vacation, Battling us sales resistance, con- sumer inertia and vicious bulldogs, they came through winners. Dartmouth’s men put up a stiff fight, and though they came in sec- ond, much credit is due them for their silver-tongued, persuasive oratory and clever sales psycholog Outstanding work was done by / derson of Dartmouth, All-Ame Subscription Renewer, who rolled up ing total of 113 rene y. Fletcher of Yale, ea last summer's squad, also turned in 112 signed slips as his daily total. Yalemouth is now. i place, ton a close second. The rest of the colleges are quite a way behind these two leaders, but many of the dopesters are putting money on Am- herst, whose fighting — subscription is captained by Bud Jones. All in all, the opening week has been interesting and it looks as if we're in for a real old-fashioned bat- tle this summer in the Intercollegiate Subscription League. Artuce L, Lippmann No Waiting For the convenience of tourists, the Golden Gate is kept open all day Sunday. Barber—Excuse it, please. Nicked you a bit that time. Patient Victim—Would you mind shiftin’ into second when you go around those corners? A Gambling Chance Qovurpovon Sam was sure he had a lucky number. He watched the wheel spin around. “Thirty-four... thirty-four... he almost prayed. It came up 35. Undaunted, he tried again, his eagerness masked by the inscrutable expression of Men of the North. Again he lost. A third time he took a chance... . “Thirty-four . . . thirty- four... .” He must get a break soon. For Kodiak Kate was waiting. Sourdough Sam cursed. The deep- throated curse of the gold fields. The wheel must be crooked! He whipped out his six-shooter and leveled it at the crowd that was watching. “One o’ you dudes come here an’ show me how to work this new- fangled dial telephone!” he bellowed. With the straw hat season on, the shopkeeper can no longer restrain —Curt Jounson himself from trying to correct the hatless cult. 6 comicbooks.com
