# Analysis of Life Magazine Page 6 **Top Cartoon:** Two men dine while discussing a woman's late-night theater work. The caption notes she "worked so late last night, she made a list of the plays we can't go south without seeing"—satirizing wives who compulsively attend Broadway shows. **"Notice to Presidential Possibilities!"** This section mocks candidates for the upcoming presidential election by proposing an examination testing their knowledge of political cartoons, editorials, and popular opinions. The Skeptics' Society (likely a real organization) seeks to ensure candidates can articulate coherent positions on current issues—satirizing politicians' vagueness and evasiveness. **Bottom Cartoons:** Two brief humorous strips: one about a lion's postponed encounter with a lamb; another depicting domestic marital friction over a husband's work schedule. The page exemplifies Life's satirical approach to politics and domestic life.
