# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page This page contains two separate cartoons satirizing early 20th-century American life: **Top cartoon**: Shows a businessman confronting what appears to be a banker or financial advisor about ongoing business operations. The caption "Of course we're still in business—who told you different?" suggests satirizing false optimism during economic uncertainty, possibly related to bank failures or financial instability of the era. **Bottom cartoon**: Depicts accountants or clerks calculating profits, with the caption "You add 'em up, Charlie—the way I figured we made a profit last month." This mocks creative accounting practices—manipulating numbers to show false profitability, a recurring target of Judge's financial satire. The right column contains practical banking advice for depositors during economically unstable times, suggesting this issue addressed financial concerns relevant to its contemporary readers.
