What you’re looking at

This page from *Judge* magazine presents an interactive comic contest. The unfinished strip shows three scenarios: (1) a man discovering loaded cigars, apparently a gift-giving scheme; (2) two men in hats exchanging something, with a third figure watching from above; (3) a small man pointing at a large uniformed official beneath a tree. The joke setup remains unclear without the original context, but the scenarios suggest con games or deceptive dealings—common satirical subjects. Readers were invited to submit funny endings to complete the strip. The $25 prize (substantial for the era) and restriction barring professional artists indicate *Judge* sought amateur creativity. The cartoons appear to satirize trickery or corruption, likely referencing contemporary social concerns, though specific figures or events aren't identifiable from the image alone. The "draw your own conclusions" title ironically invites readers to finish narratives whose meanings remain deliberately ambiguous.
