This page presents the winning entry in Judge magazine's Contest No. 29, showing a cartoon strip depicting a child's nighttime mischief. The winner, H.S. Thompson from Seattle, Washington, drew a humorous sequence: a young child in striped pajamas creates chaos—raiding the kitchen, running through the house at midnight (marked "AH-HAH! O'CLOCK!!!"), and causing general bedlam with sound effects like "BOING" and "WHAM!" The joke plays on the absurdity of a small child's uncontrolled energy and destructiveness during what should be quiet sleeping hours. Below are "Runners-Up" entries by other contestants, all depicting similar domestic comedy scenarios with children misbehaving. The surrounding advertisements for weight-reduction belts, radio magazines, dance lessons, and art schools are typical period commercial content unrelated to the cartoon's satirical message.
