What you’re looking at
This is a reader-participation contest page from *Judge*, a satirical magazine. The incomplete comic strip shows a hunting scenario: Panel 1 depicts a figure with a "No Hunting" sign near trees. Panel 2 shows a trap snapping shut on what appears to be a beaver or similar animal, with another character reacting. Panel 3 reveals a man in a top hat with a gun confronting the trapped animal, with a "No Hunting" sign visible. The joke setup appears to satirize hunting regulations or game laws—the contrast between the "No Hunting" signs and characters actively hunting suggests irony about rule-breaking or poaching. Readers were invited to submit their own funny conclusions to the strip for a $25 prize (substantial money in the early 20th century when this appeared). Non-artists could compete, though professionals were excluded. The winning entry would appear in the September 26 issue.
