What you’re looking at

This page is primarily an **amateur art contest** featuring humorous cartoons submitted by readers, with small cash prizes ($5, $2.50, $1). The cartoons employ slapstick and gentle social humor typical of early 20th-century American comedy. **Key cartoons shown:** - **"Changed Jobs"**: A beggar reveals he's taken a blind man's regular panhandling spot while the man watches a baseball game—humor from occupational displacement and deception. - **"Which is the Farmer?"**: Rural vs. urban appearance jokes, playing on stereotype differences. - **"A Big Difference"**: A weight-conscious woman asks her husband if he means with or without his bathing suit—domestic humor about body image and vanity. - **"Got Damaged All Right"**: A railroad wreck survivor describes injuries—physical comedy about accidents. The page is also filled with period **advertisements** (Lucky Strike tobacco, Boston Garter, Sommer Pianos, Coates Gin) typical of Judge's commercial content. The amateur contest democratized cartooning, allowing nonprofessional artists to publish work in a major satirical magazine.
