# Judge Magazine Page Analysis This page contains two satirical pieces: **"Who Won the Game, Mister?"** addresses a disputed football outcome from the "Dodo-Dingbatt game" four weeks prior. The large illustration shows a chaotic scene at what appears to be a cathedral or formal venue, with the caption "Bride—*Now, remember—no wisecracks!*" The satire mocks ongoing disputes over the game's result, referencing chemistry analysis of the football's air content and technical rule interpretations. Attribution to Parker Cummings suggests this pokes fun at how people obsess over settling trivial disputes. **"And So to Bed"** satirizes President Hoover's economic policies, referencing public unrest, stock market short-selling, and the timing of Thanksgiving after Election Day. The smaller cartoon shows a man at a desk with the caption about balancing his checkbook, likely commentary on widespread financial anxiety during this period.
