This page showcases results from *Judge* magazine's "Wiggle-Wobble" cartooning contest—a recurring feature inviting readers to submit humorous drawings. The page displays the winning entries and honorable mentions, with monetary prizes ($25 for first place down to $5 for third). The "Wiggle-Wobbles" appear to be brief, whimsical cartoon gags featuring exaggerated human and animal figures in absurd situations. The introductory text notes that submissions have grown artistically sophisticated over successive contests. Contributors are credited with their names and addresses, suggesting this was a popular participatory feature engaging *Judge*'s readership. The cartoons themselves—featuring elongated limbs, distorted poses, and slapstick scenarios—reflect early 20th-century comic aesthetics. This represents *Judge*'s role not just as satirical publication but as a platform for amateur cartooning talent.
