What you’re looking at

This is a reader-participation contest from *Judge* magazine. The incomplete comic strip shows two men in suits and hats (appearing to be early 20th-century businessmen or politicians) engaged in some kind of confrontation or negotiation over what looks like a fence or barrier. The first three panels establish a scenario—likely involving a dispute, deal, or comedic misunderstanding—but the final panel is blank, inviting readers to supply their own humorous ending. The $25 prize (substantial for the era) incentivized participation from non-professionals. The satire likely targets contemporary business practices, labor disputes, or political dealings, though without knowing the specific historical moment or recognizing the caricatured figures, the precise reference remains unclear. The appeal to readers' sense of humor suggests social commentary on recognizable types or situations of the period.
