This page showcases humorous cartoons submitted by amateur artists to *Judge* magazine. The sketches employ period stereotypes and comedic tropes: **"Hot Dog!"** depicts two figures discussing food—likely commentary on casual dining culture. **"One's Enough!"** uses dialect humor (African American vernacular) in a comedic courtship scene where a man proposes to "Mirandy," emphasizing poverty and lack of employment as obstacles to marriage. **"The Sport of Kings"** shows figures playing croquet, a leisure activity associated with upper-class recreation—the title sarcastically elevates a genteel sport. The cartoons reflect early-20th-century *Judge* sensibilities: reliance on ethnic/class-based humor, slapstick situations, and gentle social observation. The "Amateur Knights of the Pencil" title celebrates reader-submitted cartoons, a common magazine practice. Modern readers would note the casual prejudices embedded in the humor and the limited diversity of comedic subjects.
