# Judge Magazine, August 1938 This is primarily a **magazine cover** rather than a political cartoon. The illustration, signed by artist Gilbert Bundy, depicts three women in swimwear in a playful, flirtatious pose. The caption "NEW LOWS" appears to be a double entendre—likely referring both to new fashion trends (lower-cut or more revealing swimwear designs) and the women's physical positioning. The cover reflects 1938 summer leisure culture and emerging changes in acceptable beachwear. Judge magazine used such illustrated covers to attract readers with lighthearted humor and attractive imagery typical of American magazines during this era. This represents entertainment content rather than political satire.
