# "Judge" Page Analysis This page contains two satirical cartoons and commentary from Judge magazine. **"Head Man"** (top): A domestic comedy about a husband asserting authority over his wife. He announces new rules: she'll manage household tasks (dishes, laundry), stop shopping and movies, and accept his evening plans. The joke targets the era's gender dynamics and male insistence on domestic control, likely satirizing husbands who overreach in "managing" wives. **"Doctor, I have hallucinations"** (bottom): A psychology joke showing a rotund man claiming hallucinations to a doctor, while two small figures (children or demons) cavort nearby. The humor relies on the patient's obvious delusion or exaggeration about his symptoms. The accompanying "Fact" section offers miscellaneous social commentary on voting, women drivers, and leisure activities—typical Judge magazine filler humor.
