This page showcases amateur cartoons submitted to *Judge* magazine's contributor section. The humor relies on simple, visual punchlines: **The cartoons:** - A boy claims he can "whistle" the spelling of "dog" (wordplay on the sound) - A waiter confuses vanilla and pineapple sodas by taste, humorously suggesting they taste like glue and paste - Two figures discuss astronomers knowing star distances but not names (absurdist logic) - Dr. Woodpecker apologizes for pecking a hole in a door—treating the bird's natural behavior as a social gaffe These are gentle, wholesome jokes typical of early 20th-century family humor. The page also includes advertising for commercial art training and sex education books, suggesting *Judge* mixed editorial content with revenue-generating ads. The framing message encourages amateur artists to submit "bright, original ideas" drawn clearly with ink—essentially a call for reader contributions to fill editorial space.
