This page showcases amateur cartoons submitted to *Judge* magazine's readers. The three comic strips illustrate common joke formats of the era: 1. **"The Law of Compensation in Four Installments"** (top): A couple discusses going to the movies; the husband claims he saw the film before. The joke's payoff—suggesting he's been unfaithful or lying—plays on marital suspicion humor typical of the period. 2. **"Canned Love"** (middle): A car cartoon where the driver appears to be a woman, likely satirizing early automotive culture and gender roles. 3. **"Judge Priest" segment** (bottom): A rural dialect joke where a parson defends selling a "wild" turkey by claiming the shot wounds prove it was tame—absurd logic played for humor. The "Judge Priest" character was a popular folk-judge figure in American humor. The page also advertises art schools, birth control information, and commercial art training—reflecting 1920s-30s interests in both cartooning careers and social reform topics.
