What you’re looking at
This page showcases amateur cartoonists' work, featuring several short comic gags typical of early 20th-century humor: **Top left**: Two boys discussing the difference between cats and wildcats—a setup for physical comedy, with "Carrots" threatening to demonstrate by fighting. **Middle left**: A hunter claims his shot turkey was wild; the farmer's angry reaction suggests the bird wasn't actually wild game—poking fun at hunting pretense. **Right side**: "After the Game" depicts poker players leaving in disheveled, drunk conditions—a straightforward joke about gambling's consequences. **Bottom left**: A waiter confusion joke—the diner asked for beef extract (a concentrated meat product) but received milk, implying the waiter is incompetent. **Bottom right**: A pun-based joke where a child asks "where is Chile?" and the father responds "it's chilly right here"—a groan-worthy homophone pun. These are lighthearted, domestic humor pieces with no political content—simply illustrating everyday mishaps and wordplay common to Judge's amateur submissions.
