# Judge Magazine, August 29, 1936 The main cartoon depicts figures in formal dress dancing or celebrating while two uniformed officials (appearing to be diplomats or military leaders) stand watching disapprovingly on the right. The caption reads: "They're going to play games, let's get out of here!" The editorial text references contemporary 1936 issues: Haile Selassie's delayed League of Nations appeal, Spanish civil unrest (likely the recent outbreak of the Spanish Civil War in July 1936), and American politics ahead of the 1936 presidential election. The cartoon likely satirizes diplomatic anxieties about international instability—the festive party-goers represent nations indifferent to gathering international crises, while the stern officials embody diplomatic concern that conflict is imminent.
