# Judge Magazine Page Analysis This page contains three separate comic cartoons satirizing social behavior and etiquette violations. The top-left shows a man on a pole being pestered by others below, with the caption "He suffers from hay fever!"—a visual pun on the man's elevated, sneezing position. The top-right depicts a seaside scene where a woman asks a man, "Madam, are you trying to flirt with me?"—likely mocking awkward social interactions. The bottom cartoon, the most detailed, shows a formal dinner scene with the caption "Such manners—She didn't even take the spoon out of her cup!" This satirizes crude table manners and lack of refinement, a common Judge theme mocking lower-class or newly wealthy individuals who violated Victorian etiquette standards. The chaotic dinner scene emphasizes the rudeness being criticized.
