# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page **Top Cartoon ("Could I have one for the first two weeks in August?"):** A man sits at a judge's bench while a couple stands before him seeking an "Employment Office" sign visible on the wall. The joke appears to satirize judicial authority being misused or absurdly applied—the man is requesting a two-week vacation "from the judge," suggesting the judge controls his employment or freedom. This likely mocks either corrupt judicial overreach or the absurdity of seeking judicial approval for routine matters. **Bottom Cartoon ("Gentlemen! Please... no heckling!"):** Chaotic scene with figures arguing, captioned by an exasperated woman demanding order. The humor appears to come from unruly behavior or heckling in what may be a social gathering. **Column ("All I Know Is What I Read" by Dorothy Dix):** A satirical advice column mocking modern dating and social conventions of the era—particularly critiquing "modern" women who drink and smoke, using paradoxical logic to mock claims of modernity. The wit lies in the absurd circular reasoning about what actually constitutes modern behavior.

JUDGE [APLYMENT ] OFFICE | | | cos oF | | | AL RACs. | —_ — | “SS “Could I have one for the first two weeks in August?” AIL T Know Is What I Read (Dorothy Dix) A™as should never kiss a woman until he is sure he loves her. If a woman is sure a man loves her with- out knowing it, it is all right for her to go ahead and kiss him. If the man still does not feel certain after that kiss, it is best to seek other companionship. Then if the man really loves the woman he will come back to her When a girl meets a particular fellow in the subway each morning it is not alw: a sign that he loves her. When a fellow takes a girl home after an evening at the theatre or at a night club, and then hits her in the eye, it is a sign that he really does not love her. A girl with proper breeding never “picks up” a man If she is favorably impressed and wants to meet hit socially she must arrange to meet him socially. The modern yirl never drinks or smokes to excess She either does it moderately or she just isn’t modern There are many girls now drinking like fishes and who call themselves modern, but their hour of reckoning is marked. So are the hours designated for the moder drinker and smoker. Of course, the non-smoker, drinker is really the modernest of the moderns. And the modernest of all the modern{sts are those who never even discuss the subject. “Gentlemen! Please... no heckling!” —ARTHUR ERENBERG. comicbooks.com
