# Judge Magazine, June 1937 - Page Analysis This page contains two unrelated cartoons and prose commentary typical of Judge's satirical format. The **top cartoon** depicts a crowded gathering where someone remarks, "They're writing a book about our native dances." The satire appears to target intellectual or academic interest in American folk culture—suggesting such scholarly attention to everyday activities is pretentious or amusing. The **bottom cartoon** shows children indoors during what appears to be rain, with the caption "It won't last—they say he's twice her age!" This likely satirizes divorce or relationship gossip, making light of failed marriages by joking that an age-gap relationship is doomed. The surrounding **prose passages** offer humorous domestic advice about cooking and clothes-changing methods in San Francisco, maintaining Judge's typical blend of social commentary and household humor.

Applesauce spread thick on buttered bread is good, too; or the heel, crusty and warm from the oven, with a coat of dark tangy applebutter. Bread and gravy is another neglected dish. Pour on two or three tablespoonfuls of the thin blood gravy from a roast, apply pepper and salt, and devour in small succulent morsels. Or else use the thick brown gravy. No one with any sense bothers with meat while such food ftemains on aves Brown bread, gluten bread, f. nickel—afl those’ wretched confections —are better left unmentioned. Finally—we know we promised not to say it; but by God if the women would start roan on Monday again, they'd find their husbands better natured. It would avert the economic crisis, too, and probably end war. Dome are inordinately stupid animals. However, there has never been an unemployed dormouse; and no dormouse ever died in a war. Te Metropolitan Opera returned to Cleveland after an absence of five years. In addition to breaking all established attendance records, there was another occurrence that will undoubt. edly be of historic note. In the middle of one of the scenes from Tristam and Isolde, a policeman appeared on the stage for no apparent reason. Patrons were reaching for their programs, when several men ran out on the stage and dragged the policeman back. And the show went on! It all occurred because a city policeman attempted to cross the spacious stage from one side to the other, Some of the older citizens think that perhaps this blundering was due to the -fact that he was an officer on the city’s gambling ad who thought he was still at atin and hence was walking around with his eyes shut. At any rate, before the opera returns there will be a special section ip the officers manual on how to cross the stage at the opera, which will be made a part of the rules and regulations of the police depart- ment. N San Francisco, that stronghold of tolerance, where the only Keep-off- the-Grass sign is on the government- owned square of paper-strewn grass in front of the post office, the bathers change their clothes on the beach. We have observed three methods: The blanket method. With one hand you hold two corners of the blanket together around your shoulders, while with the other you remove the wet trunks underneath and pull on your clothes. You can appreciate the dexteri- ty this requires only when you try it, especially in a high wind. Occasionally the wind wins, but people of refinement are never looking in your direction at that moment. June 1937 "It won't last—they say he’s twice her age!” comicbooks.com
