# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page (May 28, 1921) The main cartoon depicts two fishermen in a boat with a large fish jumping nearby. The caption reads: "Sit still! What are you trying to do?—scare all the fish away!" **The satire:** This appears to be a visual joke about restraint and composure during leisure activities. One fisherman is presumably moving around excitedly while the other urges calm. **Upper text sections** offer brief satirical commentary on contemporary topics: fashion decrees about women's hairstyles, a reference to "Jimmie Walker" (likely New York politician Jimmy Walker), predictions about future wars occurring "in the air," and discussion of Spain's throne. The cartoon's humor relies on relatable fishing-trip dynamics rather than specific political reference. The page functions as a general-interest satirical magazine mixing social observation with light humor.
