This page features the winner and runners-up of "Draw Your Own Conclusions" Contest No. 17—a visual humor competition where cartoonists submitted punchlines without captions, leaving readers to interpret the joke. The winning cartoon by B.A. Brightly shows two men in top hats at candy stores, apparently drawing opposite conclusions from the same scene—likely a visual pun on differing perspectives. The "Close Seconds" section displays similar wordless comics by other contestants, including scenes of domestic life, urban settings, and everyday situations typical of Judge's satirical humor. The remainder of the page comprises period advertisements (saxophone lessons, medical appliances, truss supports) and contributor guidelines—standard magazine content from this era. Without captions, the cartoons rely on visual gags and situational comedy rather than explicit political commentary, reflecting Judge's emphasis on general satire and everyday absurdist humor.
