This Judge magazine page features a collection of short comics and jokes showcasing amateur cartoonists. The header explains Judge is accepting submissions from aspiring artists, encouraging "bright, original ideas." The individual cartoons present social satire typical of the era: - **Doctors/Bills**: A woman won't recover because she refuses to pay medical bills—satirizing both patient stubbornness and healthcare costs. - **Hair/Blond**: A woman admits to artificially bleaching her hair, mocking the era's beauty standards and cosmetic fakery. - **Fortune Teller**: A student prefers hearing money predictions from a "paying teller" (banker) over a fortune teller—satirizing get-rich-quick schemes. - **Car Starter**: A father explains needing manual "crank" starting when the car's self-starter fails—referencing early automotive technology. - **Dogs/Cats**: Visual humor about a dog's natural hunting instincts. - **Mirror/Face**: A character avoids mirrors, suggesting self-consciousness or ugliness. The final cartoon mocks progress ironically, showing livestock chaos.
