What you’re looking at
This page is primarily a **contest announcement** rather than a cartoon. Judge magazine is soliciting readers' creative interpretations of a photograph showing what appears to be a nighttime camping or outdoor scene with figures around a campfire and rocks. The contest offers prizes ($15 for first place, subscriptions to Judge or Leslie's Weekly for runner-up stories) and invites readers to submit stories, poems, or captions inspired by the image. The deadline is noon Saturday, June 1st, with winners published in the June 15th issue. The image itself is quite dark and atmospheric—difficult to parse precisely—showing silhouetted figures and what may be a dramatic moment outdoors. Without clearer visibility, the specific narrative the photograph suggests remains unclear to modern viewers, though it likely depicted something dramatic or humorous that would have been more immediately recognizable to 1910s-era Judge readers.
