This page showcases Judge's amateur art competition alongside period advertisements. The cartoon contest invited readers to submit drawings for prize money ($5, $3, $2) or $1 per accepted piece—a notable incentive during the early 1900s when such payment supported struggling artists. The winning cartoons display typical Judge humor: anthropomorphized animals ("Well-Trained Animals"), visual puns ("What It Drew"—a doctor's sketch literally depicts items from his bedroom), and domestic comedy ("History Repeats Itself," "Papa's Fault"). The satire is gentle, targeting absent-minded fathers and ironic life lessons rather than political figures. The surrounding advertisements reflect contemporary concerns: whiskey's "purity," White Rock lemonade as a refreshing alternative, Leslie-Judge's mail-order art pictures (25 cents), and notably "The Keeley Cure"—a commercialized alcoholism treatment claiming medical legitimacy. This juxtaposition ironically pairs liquor ads with addiction-treatment marketing, reflecting early-1900s attitudes toward substance abuse as a "medical" rather than moral problem.
