What you’re looking at
This page showcases Judge magazine's amateur art contest entries. The cartoons are untitled humorous sketches with punch lines rather than political satire. The first prize shows someone giving "HIM" a black mark or failing grade. The second prize, "Stone Blind," depicts a figure with exaggerated features. Other entries include: a couple in a car with foolish questions about machinery; a woman with a large cloud-like hat; a pawn shop scene where a stranger asks to examine a watch; and a rural scene where a child bargains with an uncle over dogs' value. The humor relies on wordplay, visual gags, and period-appropriate situational comedy—domestic misunderstandings, rural/urban contrasts, and earnest stupidity. These appear to be reader submissions celebrating amateur comic drawing rather than sophisticated satire.
