What you’re looking at
This is a **reader participation contest page** from *Judge* magazine. Rather than presenting finished cartoons, it invites non-professional readers to complete an unfinished comic strip by drawing or writing a humorous ending. The page shows several completed contest entries as examples—cartoons depicting everyday scenarios with comedic twists: a character at a fireplace, someone using gym equipment, a person at a refrigerator, hunters, and a dinner scene with characters outwitting a sheriff. The contest prizes $25 for the wittiest conclusion, judged on originality, humor, and drawing cleverness. Professional artists are excluded to keep competition fair for amateurs. Entries close November 22, with winners published December 25. This reflects *Judge's* early 20th-century role as an interactive, reader-engaged humor magazine where audience participation was central to its appeal and content generation.
