# "Judging the News" - August 4, 1931 This page presents brief satirical commentary on current events alongside a cartoon titled "—and this is Papa." The cartoon depicts a museum or gallery scene where a man shows his young son various framed artworks. The joke appears to play on the phrase "and this is Papa"—suggesting the father is presenting himself as another artwork or exhibit, likely mocking paternal pride or the pretentiousness of art appreciation. The accompanying text comments on various topics: subglacial holes at Inwood Hill Park; unemployment and war debts; weather as conversation; wrestling techniques; low prices; golf; and a new size golf ball. These brief satirical notes represent Judge magazine's typical format of quick social and economic commentary on 1931 Depression-era concerns and contemporary absurdities.
