This page showcases a Judge magazine cartooning contest from February 5, 1921. The "Wiggle-Wobble Awards" appears to be a recurring humor competition featuring exaggerated caricatures and satirical drawings submitted by readers nationwide. The page displays prize-winning and honorable-mention cartoons organized by prize tier (First Prize $25 down to Fifth Prize $5). The drawings themselves feature distorted human and animal figures—characteristic of 1920s caricature style—but without visible political content or identifiable public figures, these appear to be general humorous submissions rather than topical satire. The contest format suggests Judge invited amateur cartoonists to contribute works, with winners receiving monetary prizes. This represents the magazine's interactive relationship with its readership during the Jazz Age.
