# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page (January 31, 1935) The main cartoon depicts a man at a nightclub entrance (Club Royale) telling his companion: "You go in—I'll meet you after I get rid of my wife's detective!" This satirizes 1930s marital infidelity anxieties, where wealthy men frequented speakeasies and nightclubs despite Prohibition. The "wife's detective" references the common practice of hiring private investigators to catch unfaithful spouses—a significant issue during Depression-era social upheaval. The accompanying editorial snippets reference 1935 politics: NRA (National Recovery Administration) debates, European political instability, and the upcoming 1936 Presidential campaign. The trash can labeled "Help Keep Our City Clean, D.S.C." appears to mock municipal or political corruption, a recurring Judge theme.
