# Judge Magazine, April 1934 - Satire & Cartoon Analysis The page contains several brief satirical columns about current events, plus one prominent cartoon at the bottom. **The Cartoon:** Two men in suits stand beside an indoor swimming pool filled with ducks. The caption reads: "They belong to the gentleman in the big white house on the hill, sir." This is a joke about President Franklin D. Roosevelt at the White House, likely satirizing either his New Deal programs or his personal wealth/resources during the Depression era. **The Text:** Brief commentaries mock: - Pa Xi's (unclear reference) appointment to the Alcohol Control Board - Army aviators' bombing capabilities - Brooklyn's weak baseball team - Hockey injuries - A proposed law allowing scissors sales to comedians (absurdist humor) The overall tone is light political satire typical of 1930s American humor magazines.
