What you’re looking at
This page showcases winning entries from Judge's "Draw Your Own Conclusions" comic contest—a feature where readers submitted humorous cartoon panels for publication and prizes. The **winner** (top left, signed "Art Coss") depicts physical slapstick: a character being flung from a seesaw, landing in grass, then appearing suspended in mid-air as if shot upward. The humor relies on exaggerated motion lines and the wordless, purely visual gag format typical of early-20th-century comics. The **runners-up** below follow similar patterns: domestic mishaps, people caught in awkward predicaments (a man dangling from ropes, children in chaotic situations). The captions identify contributors by name and location—suggesting this was a nationwide amateur submission contest. The satire isn't political but rather **social/domestic**: poking fun at everyday accidents and family comedy, reflecting Judge's general audience of middle-class Americans amused by relatable mishaps. The surrounding advertisements (automobile repair books, saxophone lessons, baby soap) are typical period magazine filler, unrelated to the editorial content.
