What you’re looking at
This is a **reader-participation contest page** from *Judge* magazine, not political satire. The page presents an incomplete comic strip showing a character in a desert setting with rocks and a palm tree, apparently in some kind of predicament or situation. The contest invites readers to draw their own humorous endings to the strip, with *Judge* offering a $25 prize for the funniest conclusion. Participants could submit ink drawings on white paper matching the size of the blank space provided (labeled "No. 4"), or draw directly in that space and mail their entries. The contest closed January 18, with winning entries to appear in the February 6 issue. This was a common *Judge* magazine feature—crowdsourcing humor from readers while generating engagement and content.
