What you’re looking at
This is primarily an advertisement and contest results page for Judge's art print department. The main feature showcases the winner of "Draw Your Own Conclusions Contest No. 42"—a cartoon by Elmer Ellsworth Jr. depicting children at play with what appears to be a coffin or dark box, with a gravestone visible in the bottom panel. The joke relies on children's morbid misinterpretation of adult activities. Below are "Runners Up" entries, including cartoons about everyday situations: a child misunderstanding dust ("He just knows she wears Em[something]"), a studio marked "Closed for Repairs," and other domestic humor scenarios. The left side advertises three art prints for sale at 50 cents each: "Oh, Mama!" (maternal appeal), "Time" (old vs. new dancing), and "The Old Army Game" (a swindle reference). This is essentially a mail-order catalog page mixed with contest results—typical Judge magazine content from the early 20th century.
