# Judge Magazine Cartoon Analysis This page from Judge (June 1917) features a satirical cartoon depicting witches flying on broomsticks emerging from windows of what appear to be buildings or structures. The cartoon likely comments on the chaos or disruption of social order during World War I or the summer season (the editor's letter mentions "play is the thing" for summer months). The repeated witches-on-broomsticks motif suggests pandemonium or supernatural mischief—a common metaphor for social upheaval. Without clearer identifying labels visible in the image, the specific targets remain unclear, though the imagery suggests criticism of some contemporary social disturbance or widespread problematic behavior among a particular group during this 1917 period.

Jjudse Letter from The Editors E HAVE never figured out how many bridal couples walk to the altar every June, but we have figured out that matrimonial happiness is more likely to be found among JuDGe’s quarter of a million buyers than among others. For JupGE is a magazine of fun and diversion. Its cartoons, its jokes, its timely comments, its -humorous and satirical articles, its brain-bust- ers and time killers are all devoted to pleasant, intelligent relaxation. In this issue, and for the summer months, play is the thing, and JuDGE emphasizes it by devoting several pages to the art of passing time pleasantly. For a thrill, see Ted Key's “Who Done It?” and try to find the mur- derer. For a brain teaser, see Frank Dunn's line caricatures—and guess who they represent. For personal edification, try the new Grownup Cutouts. For hilarious games to liven up a dull party, see “Weekend Fun.” And try the old standbys—"Are You Sure?” and Jupce’s dual cross- word puzzles. We celebrate the return of W. J. Enright—Pat to everyone from the President down. With his cartoons, Judge On theBench returns to sur- vey the world scene. And, of course, all the old stand. bys are with us again: Nathan, Her- old, Lorentz, Crichton, and the newcomers who are clicking with Jupce readers—Rothman, New- man, and a whole raft of cartoonists.
