This page showcases **Letter-Laughs**, Judge's reader-submitted visual pun contest. Readers cut letters from printed materials and arranged them to form pictures with captions, creating word-image jokes. The three prize-winning entries include: 1. "Watching" — letters arranged to depict someone observing (likely referencing Rome burning, suggesting distraction during crisis) 2. "Horses" — letters forming galloping horses with caption "She's a little wild!" 3. "Subway" — letters arranged in a subway-themed composition with caption "Her downfall!" The contest offered weekly prizes ($15, $10, $5) and instructions for participation. This was a lighthearted, participatory feature allowing ordinary readers to submit homemade visual humor. The page also includes a cartoon of a driver offering "massage" to a man he's hit—dark humor about traffic accidents—and an advertisement for Absorbine Jr. liniment for muscle pain relief.
