# Judge Magazine Page Analysis This page contains three distinct humor pieces: 1. **"They'd Do That Anyway"** (top): A satirical comment on drought conditions, imagining Marie Antoinette's response to water shortage with her infamous "let them drink" quote. The airplane labeled "Endurance" and "City of Wando" suggests this references a contemporary aviation record or flight attempt, likely 1920s-era. 2. **"The Dentist Adopts Magician's Patter"** (left): A dentist's humorous monologue using a magician's reassuring patter while performing dental work, mocking both professions' tendency toward theatrical confidence-building language. 3. **"Bachelors' Club"** (bottom): A cartoon of two men outside a club, with an accompanying joke about mistaken identity—a wife masquerading as a companion. All reflect typical Judge magazine satire: social commentary wrapped in light humor targeting contemporary urban life and professions.
