# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page **Top Cartoon**: Two men in an office with diplomas on the wall debate cutting expenses. One says "I don't feel well, doe; and I am in a hurry. What must I cut out?" The joke satirizes how during economic hardship (likely the Depression era), even educated professionals look for ways to economize—the implication being he should cut something unnecessary, perhaps his own salary or position. **Bottom Cartoon**: Two men argue outside "Russell's Gym" advertising "Fancy Feinting and Footwork Taught Cheap." The dialogue "Lead with yer right!" / "No! From th' wrong suit!" appears to mock either boxing instruction or the gym's dubious teaching methods. Both cartoons use working-class vernacular and economic anxiety as their comedic framework.
