# Judge Magazine Page Analysis This page contains two satirical cartoons about Prohibition-era law enforcement and social attitudes. The top cartoon depicts a man being thrown out a door by a woman holding a baby, with the caption "Three of them! Has she gone crazy?" The accompanying text jokes about various Prohibition-related matters, including speakeasies, enforcement officers, and wild game hunting. The bottom cartoon shows what appears to be a police officer holding a "DOWN WITH COPS" sign while confronting a bear near a city skyline. The caption reads "Cop—Wait till I show this picture to the Captain!" The satire appears to mock both Prohibition enforcement's ineffectiveness and the public's conflicted attitudes toward police during this period. The bear cartoon likely satirizes law enforcement priorities or the absurdity of anti-police sentiment coexisting with calls for order.
