This page showcases **Contest No. 18's winning cartoon** from Judge magazine's "Draw Your Own Conclusions" competition. The winner, by Milt Gross (credited as "MET GROSS"), depicts a domestic scene: a man in a top hat repeatedly dunking his child into a basin of water while a woman watches in horror. The humor appears to derive from the absurd, exaggerated response to a mundane parenting task—likely bathing a reluctant child. Below are "Runners-Up" entries by other cartoonists, showing similar domestic comedy scenarios involving children and adults in chaotic situations. The right side advertises **children's art prints** available for 50 cents each, including "Saturday Night" (a boy and dog picture) and "Oh, Mama!" Both are promoted as appealing to families and printed on quality art board. This reflects early 20th-century American humor: slapstick domestic scenes treating child-rearing as comedic fodder, combined with commercial art print sales targeting middle-class households.
