# Cartoon Analysis: "Judge," May 22, 1933 **The Main Cartoon** shows a man in golfing attire telling a child, "Hey! Quit waving that flag—this is a putt, not a blast!" The child holds a flag on the green while an adult prepares to putt. **The Joke**: The adult misinterprets the child's flag-waving as signaling for a dramatic "blast" (explosion or forceful shot) rather than its actual purpose—marking the hole location for putting, the gentlest golf stroke. **Historical Context**: Published May 1933, during the Great Depression and early New Deal period, this appears to be simple recreational humor rather than political satire—a straightforward golf mishap joke for a general audience seeking light entertainment during difficult economic times.
