What you’re looking at

This page showcases Judge magazine's amateur art competition featuring six cartoon submissions. The entries include: **"Rain Checks"** (First Prize): Depicts a man frustrated by weather preventing outdoor entertainment, preferring indoor activities. **"Moving Pictures"**: Shows Mr. Stayathome avoiding cinema, suggesting he prefers home entertainment over theaters—likely satirizing early 20th-century moviegoing culture. **"Nautical Term—Waiting for the Tide"**: Appears to show someone literally waiting by water, playing on nautical terminology for humorous effect. **"He Flew the Coop"**: References someone escaping, likely a domestic situation. The remaining entries include "Shooting at All Make One" and "The Hare" (bottom right). These amateur submissions represent typical Judge humor: domestic situations, wordplay puns, and everyday frustrations transformed into visual gags—the magazine's standard satirical approach for middle-class American readers.
