What you’re looking at

This is a reader-participation contest page from *Judge* magazine (Contest No. 62). Rather than completed political satire, it's an interactive feature inviting readers to supply humorous endings. The three comic strip panels show: 1. A cowboy figure emerging from clouds, appearing to confront or pursue someone 2. A figure in tall grass with what appears to be a cannon or large weapon 3. A close-up of the weapon/cannon pointed downward The premise is unclear without the original setup panels, but the Western/frontier setting and the escalating action suggest a comedic scenario about conflict or confrontation. Readers were encouraged to draw their own conclusions about how the story should end, with $25 awarded for the funniest submission—a significant prize at the time. This format was typical of *Judge's* participatory humor approach, making readers co-creators rather than passive consumers.
