# "Judging the News" - November 29, 1933 This page presents editorial commentary on contemporary events through five caricatured figures juggling globes—likely representing editors or news commentators of the era. The main cartoon depicts a woman discovering a shaggy dog in her fireplace, asking "Do you think little Willie will know it's me?" with the punchline "I know it's you! He won't even know it's Santa Claus!" The commentary text addresses Prohibition's repeal, frozen assets from the Depression, and Prohibition-era bank robberies—topical issues of late 1933. The dog-and-Santa joke appears unrelated, likely a seasonal gag coinciding with Christmas preparation. The overall page mixes political/economic satire with domestic humor typical of Judge magazine's mixed editorial and entertainment content.
