# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page **Top Cartoon ("Dark Horses of 1932"):** This satirizes Senator Gilbert Fippo's contradictory positions on naval policy and European war debts. The illustration shows a man fleeing from menacing figures in a jungle, labeled "Gosh—it's lucky I brought the gun along today!" The satire suggests Fippo is unprepared or hypocritical—advocating military restraint while paradoxically needing armed defense. The "dark horse" reference indicates he's an unexpected political candidate whose stated positions don't withstand scrutiny. **Bottom Cartoon:** Two men examine a bulletin board while a third person rushes past. The caption "My black cat's been missing for a month, Bertha, an' I wonder!" appears to be domestic humor unrelated to politics. The "News From the Colleges" section covers campus social issues, including Yale's proposed Honor System abolishment.
