# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page This page contains two cartoons satirizing postal workers and management. **Top cartoon ("There's been a robbery")**: A policeman confronts a mail carrier about a robbery. The accompanying text presents a judge (likely a postal supervisor) giving an aggressive pep talk to mail carriers, urging them to act tough and fight back against criminals. The joke appears to target the postal service's incompetence or the irony of postal workers being blamed for robberies. **Bottom cartoon ("You and your Boy Scout knots!")**: Two postal workers struggle to untie a knot while surrounded by scattered mail. The satire criticizes poor organization or incompetence at the Post Office—the workers' inability to manage basic tasks, humorously attributed to faulty knot-tying skills. Both cartoons mock the postal service's operational failures and worker competence during this era.

Neen ree ee EEE Judge Good, Clean Fun “ZOU boys are going up against some pretty tough opposition this afternoon. I've looked ‘em over and you're certainly going to have your hands full! “But I want you to get in there and tear ‘em apart! Bust them wide open! Let them know they're up against a bunch of he-men! “And I want to see you fellows open up some holes. Grit your teeth and rip ‘em out wide. Trample 'em! Crush ‘em! Drive in those ends and jump on those backs! “That's what I want you boys to do this afternoon. Get in there and show me that you're the best bunch of parcel- post clerks we've ever had in this Post- office.” ND money may go to some people's heads, but ours always goes to our creditors. “You and your Boy Scout knots!" 4 comicbooks.com
