# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page The top cartoon titled "Judge" (captioned "Don't pull—play it a little!") depicts two figures fishing from a large funnel or tornado-like structure, with a ship below. This appears to be political satire about judicial or governmental overreach, warning against excessive "pulling" or aggressive action—perhaps referencing court decisions or political maneuvering of the era. Below, "I Know a Girl" by Carroll Carroll is a humorous piece about a woman's absurd misconceptions about birds and animals, presented as a lighthearted joke column. The bottom cartoon "Wotta lie!" shows a man being chased by children near a "Tourists Accommodated" sign, satirizing overcrowded beach conditions and sunburned bathers—referencing the tourism boom and beach culture of the period.

Bathing beaches are so crowded this year that the baldheaded men are thi only ones getting sunburned. “Don't pull—play it a little!” I Know a Girl Gu thinks a wren is a sort of a bulbous swelling on one’s nose, and that bobolinks are golf courses; but she says she's simply fascinated by our feathered friends. She is of the opinion that ducks are what they make white pants of, that xeese is a country in Europe, and that pheasants are French farmers. She thinks that a starling is a young movie actress, and that daws are things to go in and out of. When I asked her if she ever shot partridges she said she hadn't ever shot, but that if she ever had shot a gun she'd certainly have had part- ridges in it. According to her, a bluebird is a bird that is sad, and a sparrow is what you find in bones, but her favorite bird, she says, is the cuckoo. —Carnoi: Carron “Wotta lie!” 3 comicbooks.com
