# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page This page contains two separate satirical pieces from Judge magazine: **"The Fad Man"** (top right): Mocks a character named Mortimer who constantly follows trends—opening a miniature golf course, playing stock market, opening a tavern, taking up bridge, and going on relief. The satire targets wealthy people who thoughtlessly chase whatever fad everyone else is doing, regardless of consequences. **"Very Becoming"** (bottom): Shows a husband ignoring his wife's attempts to get his opinion on her new dress. The joke satirizes marital indifference—he's so disinterested he won't even look at it, while she desperately seeks his approval. The bottom cartoon depicts children interrupting, playing on domestic chaos. Both pieces use humor to critique contemporary social behavior and relationships.
