This page features the winning entry from Judge's "Draw Your Own Conclusions" contest, a humor feature where readers submit cartoons with minimal captions and let viewers interpret the joke. The winner, by D. Crooks of Indianapolis, shows a series of cartoon panels depicting figures climbing or struggling along a curved surface. The humor appears to rely on visual ambiguity—viewers must "draw their own conclusions" about what the scene actually depicts. The cartoons below labeled "Close Seconds" are runner-up submissions using the same premise. The surrounding advertisements (saxophone lessons, skin-clearing products, radio magazine) are typical of Judge's commercial content from this era, likely 1920s-1930s, targeting middle-class readers interested in self-improvement and modern consumer goods. The contest format was popular in satirical magazines, encouraging reader participation while filling pages with humorous content.
