# Judge Magazine Contest No. 16 (April 1924) This page presents a humor contest, not political satire. The cartoon by Gilbert Wilkinson depicts a domestic scene: a woman in an ornate robe sits on a bed while a man lies in it. The setup dialogue reads: **Frue:** "What makes you think Jack loves you?" **Sue:** [blank line for reader response] Judge magazine invited readers to submit clever punchlines for this romantic/marital humor scenario, offering a $25 prize for the cleverest second line. The cartoon captures 1920s attitudes toward relationships and gender dynamics through lighthearted domestic comedy rather than political commentary. The contest deadline was April 29, 1924, with winners announced in the May 31 issue.
