This page showcases amateur cartoonist submissions to Judge's 1922 competition, offering a gold watch to the funniest illustrated idea. The cartoons represent submissions from readers rather than professional staff artists. The visible cartoons include: - **"Inventor Stonehatchet tries out the first valve in head motor"** (by H.E. Olmsted): A primitive-looking figure in a makeshift vehicle, satirizing early automotive innovation or incompetent inventors. - **"Getting Drunk on Water"** (by John G. Balda): A fishing scene with a pun about intoxication through water rather than alcohol—likely social commentary on Prohibition (1920-1933). - **A domestic comedy** (by Mary Fulwood): A couple's engagement dispute over the man's mustache damaging the woman's complexion—typical 1920s relationship humor. The page also references a photograph featuring Will Rogers at a stage door, indicating his celebrity status of the era. The surrounding advertisements reflect period consumer products and services.
