# "Judge" Page Analysis This page contains two separate political cartoons from an interwar era Judge magazine (likely 1920s-30s, given references to President Hoover and war concerns). **Top cartoon** ("Oh! Pardon me!"): A witch-like figure on a cliff startles a gentleman, illustrating anxieties about unexpected political surprises or social upheaval. **Bottom cartoon** ("Folks, the Graf Zeppelin is now directly overhead!"): A man speaking into a microphone addresses another figure, likely satirizing radio announcements and public panic during the Graf Zeppelin's famous transatlantic flights. The joke appears to mock both sensationalist media and public reaction to new aviation technology. The page's text commentary addresses politicians' tax problems, sales taxes, gasoline taxes, and voters "hoarding" votes—typical Depression-era economic and political frustrations.
