This is a **submissions page** showcasing amateur cartoonist contributions to Judge's "Amateur Page" feature. The page celebrates work from aspiring artists, presenting several cartoon strips and gags: 1. **"A Willie's Night"** (J.C. Thomas): A domestic scene with a couple and lamp—likely a simple domestic humor gag. 2. **"Blow yo' horn, Henry!"** (James H. Lloyd): Rural/folk humor with dialect, showing a car approaching a train crossing—the joke appears to be about comic timing or a near-miss. 3. **"The Thrill That Comes Once in a Lifetime"** (Henry Barr): Shows a man's excitement at finally having a cartoon accepted—self-referential humor about the amateur cartoonist's dream. 4. **"The Artist—Of course, this is just a pot boiler"** (Mildred Hein): A conversation between artist and friend about commercial versus serious work. 5. **Duck sequence** (Gordon C. Hill): A wordless four-panel strip showing a duck's simple actions ("walked," "sat," "laid an egg," "got up")—gentle absurdist humor. The page encourages amateur submissions, celebrating aspiring talent.
