# Judge Magazine Political Satire Page **Top Cartoon:** "Explorer Bertram Thomas will now explain his struggle to cross the Arabian Desert." The cartoon mocks explorer Bertram Thomas by showing him literally struggling against two caricatured figures pulling him in opposite directions—apparently satirizing the difficulty or absurdity of his expedition narrative. **Bottom Cartoon:** "One old fashioned and a glass of milk." This appears to be a social satire about generational differences, showing what seems to be an older gentleman ordering a simple drink while younger figures around a table react with apparent surprise or judgment. The page's text discusses political matters (Democratic National Convention, budget issues, unemployment) and entertainment (vaudeville performers), typical of Judge's satirical commentary on 1920s-30s American politics and culture.
